Great Idea! Thank you very much, my ottos aren’t fans of zucchini or cucumbers either so I was having trouble feeding them as well once they wiped out all my tank algae. Oddly, the algae feeder tablets just disintegrate over time and none seem interested in those either. I will give this a shot. :)
hey Adam, thanks for the great vid, btw @ 0:02 on the bottom left of the screen (right behind the rock), what is the plant called? It looks some sort of bamboo tho, love it. Thanks
How many otos do you have ?..im left with 1 healthy one the othe 3 i had died ..he seems ok..but i know they like groups ..im not sure i want to add more since they are sensitive its its heartbreaking seeing them reduce in numbers
@@AmB39 yes, sorry I wasn’t clear. I watched a video from a famous German fish store using a branch from the forest covered in lichen and the Otos seemed to love it

Shallah Knievel I stumbled upon this by feeding my hippies and other small fish in this way. Good luck!
Mine love the Hikiri Algae Wafers. The shrimp love them, and over time, they joined. I guess they were hungry enough.
This is such a nice tank. It's good to see the many different types of fish. Thanks for the tips
Coat rocks and wood in repashy, freeze so it goes hard and then put it in the tank :)
I’ll give it a try thanks!
Repashy super green or soilent green? I’ve seen mixed opinions on which one is better
I love the substrate you used. 😍
Thank you for sharing this informative video! I have been trying to find ways in feeding my Otocinclus more algae!
I’m glad it helped!
Great tip i will be trying it although I’m struggling seeding the algae I don’t have any green algae in my tank yet visibly
What a brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing.
Nice! Yeah I was looking for a way to get the algae to the Ottos before my Amanos ate it all up.
Mine seem to like green peas going to try grow some algae though. Nice vid

Thanks. To be honest I’m not sure. I’m not up on my plant names. We just randomly pick up plants here and there from our local pet shop
Tank size?
And you're slightly overfeeding you fish
My Otocinclus eat my snowflake shrimp food

Ya that’s tough. I have 2 left. Maybe contact a local group that’s into fish keeping and see if anyone can adopt it for you
how can make that?
Repashy food ! Doesn’t take months. 😞
Mine like potatoes. Weird, I know.
SoggyFries I think I’ll give that a try because no other veggie seems to work. Are they baked potatoes?
@@AmB39 Nope just regular fresh from the earth red potatoes. Washed, peeled and blanched, of course
Thanks for replying I’ll give this a try!
Slice zucchini into medallions. Blanch for 1 min. Freeze. Defrost one at a time and stick on a skewer. Job done.
Try lichen on a branch
A branch found in the woods with lichen?
@@AmB39 yes, sorry I wasn’t clear. I watched a video from a famous German fish store using a branch from the forest covered in lichen and the Otos seemed to love it
Very cool. Ok thanks for the info. I’ll try that out
@@AmB39 let me know if it works for you, may come in handy one day. Good luck!
Will do
