I bought four Ottos Wed pm, on Sunday I got the water tested and required a bit of adjustment Ph too high and cycling not correct unknown reasons. Sun PM replaced 10Lt to help correct the problem.

I sat down and saw a mark on the inside of the tank big curse. Looking closer I found 13 little marks all sticking to the glass with little tails waving in the current. All about 2-3mm I have also seen one free swiming.

More info of the four I have only seen three constantly and never four together. Only other fish in tank were the four Zebra Danios which I removed on Sat.

The Ottos are egg layers is it possible if not what is it.

Impossible to import via water or plants water stored three weeks plants washed and cleaned for a week.

Do I have Otto babies????. If not what???

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?

Sounds like you have otto babies to me Keith!

If theres nothing else in the tank besides them and the fry in question are sucking to the glass then thats what I would be guessing.

Well done.

Well Keith, It appears we aren't the only ones who like the tank Apparently the ottos are liking it just as much, if not more And in appreciation they have made you babies Congratulations So now what are you going to do with themthink Betta boy will be ok with them? heidi

Congratulations on the Otto Fry It appears that everyone in the tank is happy and willing to prove it.

haha...congratulations!

Wow, that is awesome! Congratulations you lucky person!

Dont get your hopes up just yet. You said you have danio in the tank. I would bet that you have danio fry.

During their first day or two of life, they somehow stick to the sides of an aquarium in a completly vertical position... just like an ott / pleco / algae eater. Within a day or so, look near the top of the water... you should see a small school of silvery flashes.... then you will know you have danio fry.

/I've raised a lot of danio's

otto babies cool!
