Oto help

[OscarFan]

I got an Oto catfish today. Im checking to see if they need anything other than Algae.

[squirt_12]

you could feed them some zuchinni, cucumber, and algae wafers if you like.

Yep, I've starved a couple of otos. Once they eat all the algae, give them some veggies. Just make sure they always have fat little bellies and you're fine. A fat oto is a happy oto. :sbiggrin:

Fresh cucumber? Just put it in the tank?

[Siamese Fighter 1]

ye fresh cucumber make sure u add weight so it sink.or you can boil it for a few sec so it sink thats wat i do anyway

i'm going to start slightly boiling my cucumber. They are interested in it but don't seem to eat so much...maybe having the flesh softer will help.

[KcEE]

You might be right nick! Hey, do you think S.A.E's will eat that too? And I guess I shouldnt leave the cucumber in there long right?

[Nick_Pavlovski]

I take my cucumber out after 12 hours (it goes in for the night).
I put it in skewered on a satay skewer, so it's easy to remove.

Now, what's an SAE?

[KcEE]

Satay! Did you say satay! Yummy... SAE = Siamese Algae Eater.
