Excuse my ignorance but what is an otto. - ---------- From: owner-apisto@listbox.com on behalf of Michael W McGrath Sent: Friday, August 22, 1997 9:53 PM To: Apistogramma mailing List Subject: SAE alae blah blah I have two tanks with apistos. One is a really well planted 30g, with 3 ottos and SAE and 2 corys and 2 gouramis, not to mention my apistos that breed like clockwork. My SAE is a tank. He will fight the apistos, even when 2 attack while protecting fry. He munchs food any time he can, far as I am concerned, In my setup, he is useless and will betaken back, even if I have to pay for them to take it! Now my other tank is planted, not as densely. This 20g serves as a fry tank and I have a school of 3 ottos that clean this tank. The apistos have no idea what they are, they just sorta 'sniff' the otto and leave it alone. I'd try some ottos. They do not eat fry eggs or food.
