axolotl-danio Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Ok I am rather excited. I know next to nothing about breeding egg layers. I have a quarantine tank with 1 blind cave tetra and 2 otocinclus. The tank is bare. apart from a heater, filter, piece of zucchini and the eggs. The eggs are white and on the bottom of the tank. If I post a pic is their any chance of of identifying them? If they are from the blind cave tetra will they hatch or do you need a male in there to ? (as I said before I know next to nothing about breeding egg layers) What are the chances of any fry surviving if they are oto eggs? Can oto parents be in with the eggs? Any other info would be very helpful thanks :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axolotl-danio Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I am also aware that the otos are not easy to breed. They have been chasing each other all night and day. I got one on Friday and one on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 well seeing how there's only one blind cave tetra I'd say it was your ottos....white eggs just mean they're not fertile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axolotl-danio Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well they look white to me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Is there any obvious appearances between you ottos? Is one larger, fatter? heres hoping its ottos On the other hand , if the lone blind tetra is female and for some reason popped out a few, of course they would be infertile,and white looking. Wait and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axolotl-danio Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks. Yeah one of the otos is bigger. They almost seem slightly blueish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 you should take out the lone tetra and go for gold breeding those ottos they don't come cheap in the petshops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
