Inkling Fish Addict Posts: 689 Kudos: 498 Votes: 11 Registered: 07-Dec-2005	I have a 10-15g tank with breeding feeder guppies and 2 Zebra Danios. Could I add a few ottos? i was thinking of adding 2 or 3. Thanks! Inky

They like to shoal you know Otherwise, I can't see any problems with adding Otocinclus. You could put 4 in there and have yourself a nice little algae grazing team.

All my guppies have short fins (feeders) so they arnt being nipped. I've had my zebras about 8 mo. now and they have been doing fine on thier own Inky

Also Pictus catfish i think will. They are very cool also wiht their long whiskers. Also what are you feeding the guppies to? Chris
