Re: [AGA-Member] Algae eaters
"I'm not sure now if it was Otos or Chinese algae eaters or both."
It's like day and night from one to the other. CAE's grow to be VERY
aggressive and otos are VERY peaceful all life long :)
I haven't yet seen a tank with CAEs and Discus that hasn't suffered from CAE
attack, yet with Otos I'm with Cheryl, I'm yet to see an attack or even hear
talk of it, and I keep them together for quite a while now. Perhaps when the
discus are breeding the mucus becomes too tasty to neglect?
Cheers,
Pedro

Cheryl, we all want your Otos! More of your kind of Otos!
(makes me wonder about regional subspecies...)
Ten or fifteen years ago I had side-sucker issues, but it was so long ago
(yes, pre-planted tank days) I'm not sure now if it was Otos or Chinese
algae eaters or both.
Also wanted to thank you for getting me the missing TAG magazine, I got it
really quickly!
Thanks!

Not doubting you here, but I have NEVER observed aggressive behavior in
my Otos. Most of the time I don't even know they are there. In fact, a
few years ago I kept buying more because I never saw them and I thought
they were dying. Then I broke down the tank and discovered about a dozen
of the little guys!

Hello All,
Question about algae eaters in a discus tank. I have found out
the
meaning of attack Otto's. They love the coats of discus they did
however eat a
lot of algae. What else is out there that will eat up some algae??
Thank you
AZ
