This morning before the lights turned on I saw three 1/4" Ottos on my glass in my 300g tank. I wonder how many there really are. So I will add Ottos onto the list of fish that have bread in my tanks. Exciting, I wanted to try and breed them, it's soo hard to get healthy ones from the LFS's.

Good job - the fish must have seen you doing the research and decided to pitch in and help!

I have them in a heavily planted 300g tank. I think what triggered it was some daily 1/3 waterchanges I did to get my Bristlenose to spawn, but I'm not sure, they seem older than when I did the water changes.

I'm up to 12, and that's only what I see on the glass, I'm sure there's more in the plants and on the driftwood. I took a few pics, I'll post them later.

Nice pics though!
