Should I try two more Ottos or go with a couple of SAE for algae?


I must have been lucky. I bought 3 otos and they all lived. But
they're pretty lazy compared to a SAE. I've got one of those in each of
two tanks, and they never stop eating.

SAE are hadworking, but they're awfully fond of flake food. Mine even
eats blackworms. They also just can't beat Otos for getting soft algae
off of leaves. I usually keep both because I find the Otos are good for
the smaller spots.

If I had to choose one, I guess I'd choose SAE because I always get
black brush algae and they eat it.
