Just after I changed a few things around in the Betta tank I saw another Otto, I origionally had five and I know I lost at least three found a body in the filter. The last few days am now seeing six ottos. The newer ones are slimmer and not as long. All I have done to the tank recently was to increase the temp to 28-29 because of a problem I had with the cardinals also because of the cold weather. I am also adding Seachem liquids for the plants but I have done this since I set the tank up. I also do a big 45% water change weekly.

I did not have the camera aready this morning and five were at the front. Another thing I have noticed they are all extremly active now both the large and smaller ones.

Her is a photo of one of the Ottos feeding with a Khuli Loach

Very cool, Keith.

It's always exciting (at least for me, anyway ) when fish spawn in home aquaria.
