Brand New Tank and Otos
I've got 3 Otos in a 10g tank (along with other animals). I am in the process of cycling a 20g tank so everyone has more room.
Should I leave the lights on the entire cycling time so that some algae will grow for the Otos and the Zebra Nerite snails, (and the RCS too I guess). If there's not algae on anything, they will be very hungry. I've got 6 containers with rocks in water - lids off and fish food for fert' - in windows, but still no algae, so really, they are going to depend on algae in the tank, (and zucchini when I give it to them). Thanks.

Re: Brand New Tank and Otos
I think that the algae will come. Cater to them as much as you can - zucchini is a good start.

Re: Brand New Tank and Otos
Thanks. Yeah, and I'm sure they must eat algae that we can't see. (The snails sure do! When I do a water change, I can see little snail bites in the film on the glass where there's no water. It's super cute!)
So, for the first few weeks it'll be zucchini, sea weed sheets and algae wafers, lol.
