I took the wafers out right after I last posted.....they were getting too fat, and the otos weren't touching them...

most people find otos to be reluctant to accept prepared foods (algae wafers, flakes, pellets, any of that). so they supplement them with fresh veggies that are blanched (cooked slightly) to soften them up. i farm algae in another tank, but have only been slightly successful. gonna feed my 4 some spinach tonight
other folks use zucchini, cucumber (seeds removed), dark lettuces. i'm going to experiment and see what they like. variety is necessary to ensure complete nutrition.
