Yep, I made sure to bring some algae wafers home with the oto cat. I've already been experimenting a little with blanched fresh vegetables to check his preferences. He seems to like romaine lettuce and a little ambivalent towards cucumber slices. I think I'm gonna try zucchinni tomorrow...
good luck maybe in a week or two i would add another neon or two. the thing with your stocking right now is they are all schooling fish. they do better in groups.
Take the red fin back to the place I purchased it from and told them that he was being very aggressive towards his tank mates. With a heavy heart I handed him over as the guy at the aquarium ...
I definitely wanted to add a couple more tetra. Three seem like a, uh, one-room schoolhouse. I had wondered how much company the oto might want. I didn't want to have too many in my tank and have them suffering for lack of true algae to eat/ pursue.
I don't have much to add to what has been said. Other than I appreciate the way you included the age of your tank and the occupants in your first post. nice and clear.
Also, I was wonderring if you are related to silent ray just ray?
