mattwa Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 We have just noticed we have baby otocinclus in our discus tank. They are about 1cm long and still transparent. Now we just have to hope they don't become dinner. We haven't breed any fish before so this is all new for us and a very big supprise. Any tips on how to raise them etc would be most appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Put some rocks in a bowl with low water and A LOT of light so they get overgrown with algae. Then give it 2 the ottos. Keep 2 and alternate. No idea how to keep them alive though =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moya Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Oh man they must be the cutest little guys ever. I went all *squeeee* over my baby bristlenose, and ottos are even cuter. I thought ottos were pretty hard to breed too. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
