	Ottos for 55
Cichlid Keeper Big Fish Posts: 368 Kudos: 466 Votes: 304 Registered: 17-Aug-2003	How many ottos would you recommend for a 55 gallon tank. I presently have 3 in the tank and its never had any type of algae problem. So should I add more and if so how many. Thanks in advance to any replies.

Currently, I find 2-3 at a time, but I haven't found any bodies and haven't had any kind of an algae problem, so they seem to be doing fine. I'd say if your algae isn't worsening, then you're pretty well stocked on them... PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.
