Mia Hobbyist Posts: 86 Kudos: 79 Votes: 2 Registered: 20-Mar-2005	I just got 2 otto's for my tank and I was wondering what types of veggies they like? Also how to prepare it? (Should it be raw or cooked)Thanks

Mine mostly like to eat cucumber and leaf lettuce. They'll also eat a little fish food especially sinking foods like shrimp pellets and algae wafers.
