ottos

[mpg]

i am thinking about adding a single otto to my 10 gallon to keep the green and brown algae to a minimum.

my tank is already crowded so i don't think i should add more than 1.  i also don't think i have enough algae to keep several fed.  will he get lonely?  will he school with any other fish, like corys?

i hear they are sensitive to water quality.  anything else i should know about ottos?

ottos in my opinion are kinda shy. i rarely see them during the day. they prefer to hide out. i don't think they'll school with other types of fish. here's some other people's experiences with ottos..

I bought 2 for my 20, and day or night they are hanging on the glass, or swimming around.
