I just thought I post my little worker fishies with ya'll. I have some algae on the glass and no joke all 5 of my Otos are on the glass cleaning it and they have been off and on all day. They are getting such big bellies compared to when I got them (they were VERY tiny almost all bones). Sorry about the picture quality but these little guys are rude and wont stop for picks. :p And yes those are scratches on my tank. I forgot to look before I set it up and make sure they were in the back.

Hmmm, my otos arent cleaning or anything. All i see them do is sit at the floor. Sometimes i see them on the plants, never on the glass anymore. THe algea is starting to build up and they wont eat it.

Other than that, they look great. I wish i could get my hands on some zebra otos, those are beautiful.

If that is the case you may want to test your nitrates. More WCs may be in order as this is not the norm for this fish.
