![]() | Which algae eater? |
kitten![]() ![]() Fish Guru Meow? Posts: 2266 Kudos: 2194 Votes: 19 Registered: 18-Nov-2003 ![]() ![]() | After the unexpected and unexplained death of my poor albino BN plec, I am left with a tank that has been cultivated for algae. I miss my poor Daffy Dilly and have given thought to purchasing another BN (not albino this time) to take over his job. However, I love the cuteness of ottos, too. Soooo... the question is, would one be better than the other in my tank? It's a 20 gallon long that's moderately planted and running for six+ months. Current inhabitants: 6 betta girls 6 black neons 5 Cories (four trilineatus, one agassizzi with three more on order) How would waste production of one BN compare to say, 4-6 ottos? Would one or the other be better suited for my tank? ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~ |

Hmm i would go with the BN then it would clean up faster in your 20. but if you want some thing that looks good in your tank and cleans the algae. I would get the otos. |

Thanks. ![]() Does anyone know what would be the comparison between a small school of ottos vs a BN when looking at bioload? ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~ |
