Polwarth Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I have a group of Otocinclus on a cleaning gang in my community tank and a couple of them have been taking time off there duties to make more of them. I now have an extra 15 Oto's that I can see ....... What do I do with them? I have understocked my tank to reduce the maintanence duties, I suspect that there is alot more than I have seen, and given they are of various sizes I suspect the couple in question are shagging their brains out and will continue to do so. What avenues are there for selling the new arrivals and how long should I leave them in the tank before selling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 If you're breeding ottos, you won't have any problems selling them at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li@m Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 The private trade and exchange section on this site is where you can sell them or TM. And you should have no problem selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Nice Work! I have seen mine spawn a few times but never seen any fry. Yours is the first case I've heard of getting fry from them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Oto's are on my list of 'want to breed', what are your parameters??? any idea on what the fry are eating first???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polwarth Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I am new to the whole fish keeping, I can't tell you what I have done right to get these. As for food I have not given them anything, they seem happy cleaning the tank and plants, they do however favour the higher water in the tank. I think I am on the third cycle as I have three distinct sizes of offspring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polwarth Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Tried to get some pics but the can't get the camera to focus on the right item, the biggest is only about 12 mm long some are even as small as 5 or 6 mm. All happily eating algae on the side of the tank and plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
