I need advice on how to ensure that fry in a tank well planted get the microworms. I have removed the Pl*cos and left four Ottocats in the tank with the Nijenssi. I have observed the older Ottos eating the frozen brine shrimps at the bottom of the tank. I want to make sure that the fry get the majority of the worms. I also noticed that I have more fry than I thought from the April 27th spawn. At least 10-15. Why did the Nijenssi spawn so close together? The reason that I have these fish in well planted tank instead of a bare bottom is because initially I did not know that they would breed so easily. Secondly, I was trying to create their natural habitat.
