Few little points to add. Ottos are not bottom feeders, if there is no algae for them to eat, they need something like algae disks or zucchini. Tetras CAN be beautiful and some exotic, dwarf gourami can be a bit plain in comparision sometimes, depends on your perception I guess. So many people want "beautful" fish, I don't know, I admire all of them for each of their own qualities. As much as we want certain things in our tanks, we have to follow what is best for the fish. The ideal tank is one that is big, beautiful, takes care of itself and all the fish get along. I would like seahorses, but don't have a marine tank. I would like a pleco that stays two inches, but I don't have a magic tank.
Not trying to come across harsh, I just mean that there are things we have to follow, not because they are the rules, but because these fish are alive and we can't adjust the rules because of that. Hoping I didn't start a "fight link" from this. People are giving advice because it was asked for and because they love fish, that's why we're all here....?
