So these little devils are now some of my favourite fish, don't think I'll have a large planted tank without them.
I'm think I'm dong okay by them but just checking a few things. I currently have 5 in my 125l which is probably pushing the numbers but they all seem quite fat and happy so not worried there. In others experience how many would you put in a heavy planted tank?
I was feeding them courgette but have since read theres little nutrients in it, they completely ignore carrots and tomatoes but they really love the almond leaves I throw in. Just wondering if I can just have the plant mass and the almond leaves as a food source or should I still be supplementing their diet? Algae pellets are out, they're ignored by the otos but destroyed by the glass shrimp.
I've read other sources on them but tbh I prefer getting my info from ukaps members now, cheers
