	Otocincluscatfish Looks Fat
AnnieM Fingerling Posts: 16 Kudos: 4 Votes: 0 Registered: 29-Oct-2007	Hi folks, I got 5 otto cats three weeks ago. They had been at the LFS for three months, and seemed to transition fine. I see one is quite big in the belly; how do I tell the difference between egg-carrying and bloat? If she's got eggs, can I encourage breeding in some way? Thanks, AnnieM

Last year one of the Aquarium Mags published an excellent article on Ottos. If they are doing well after three months you must be doing some thing right. Just a reminder they some times can hide for months. I see my Otto now about once a week and then only for a short time and he.she is big and fat. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

I daily added algae covered rocks and poured lots of green water into the tank. It made a big mess of the tank but I did get fry. Unfortunately there were also a couple of little tetras in the tank and I think they ate the fry which are tiny like corydoras fry.
