Obviously it involves great cigars, great beer, and killer fruitcake!

The Niger Otos are not true Otos but I can't find the real name for them right now. But those guys if you can get them are awesome algae eaters. I prefer to have them in the tank.

And I don't know what I did right but those guys have been breeding. I guess it's just good water quality, good food, and lots of hiding spaces. The same tank has also had Rosy Barbs breed and fry survive.
