The Oto Journal

Working in the tanks today. Do you think it needs a trim?

I love it! :D What is the runner plant front & center with the fringe tops?

I wish everyone could see how active and interesting otos can be when not kept singly in a 5g tank. :headshake2: That's a great video!

It is Ranunculus Inundatus. Pulling a fair amount of it out. Actually it is my second trim of these. ;) This tank grows soooo fast.
 
lol...no lack of fertilizer in this tank. ;)
 
It's an 18w T8. Nothing fancy.

Everything continues to progress well. Doing some small water changes in the main and holding tanks. Too many little ones to let it go a week. Going to see what, if any, impact a 10% water change every three days will have.

Rearranged the RI and Downoi. I think it will be a good look once the Subwassertang wall is trimmed again. Still waiting to move out the little ones before I do that. On a funny note, while I was replanting, one my briggs came up to my finger and crawled up it just a bit. It then started rasping on it. Felt weird. lol. I didn't let him do it too long as I don't know if it would bother anything.

CO2 was recharged today and prepping new zucchini as I type.
 
Rasping briggs tickle! I used to be afraid of how they'd feel crawling on me - but I can't feel their foot, just that tiny rasping radula. :D

Have you ever had an oto taste you?

The babies are constantly lighting on my hands when I'm working in there. Not to mention that some of them dive bomb me.
