Think they are even cheaper in bulk aswell - did you see how many they had? Been meaning to pick some up but been replanting first.

My ottos never seem to be interested in veg - the shrimp however swarm it. By the time it's been in the tank for a while/gone mushy the shrimp have already demolished it. Should I try leaving a piece of cucumber in constantly (replace it every day)? Was worried about pollution since it's a 23L...

Which shop do you think is the best in the Reading area? The Winnersh Maidenhead Aquatics is my closest but the stocking seems pretty dissapointing. My heater packed in the same weekend so getting some next weekend instead - probably quite lucky as I only have shrimp/otos in it at the moment...

Maidenhead Aquatics in Arborfield, tried a few LFS and they are the only ones in stock.

Thanks for the replies, will be picking up 8 this weekend!

Anyone have any experience with chilli rasboras? Looking to get a few for my 23L - wondering what the minimum size for the shoal would be for them to be most comfortable. It's only populated by cherry shrimp and 3 otos at the moment. (alot of plants so not too concerned about the shrimp...

Anyone have any advice for weaning ottos onto vegetables and such? I've tried cucumber, courgette and algae tablets and they are not interested. They are not starving (bellies appear quite full) so I'm assuming there is enough algae/biofilm for them.

Using algae wafers already - how long can you leave cucumber/general veg in the tank for? Some guides suggest 3 days, seems a bit excessive?
