fatbysl · 11-18-2004, 02:30 AM

I want some oto's but i have chinese algae eaters. Im haveing a hard time catching the chinese algae eaters so i was wondering will otos work with chinese algae eaters? Or are the chinese algae eaters to aggressive to have in the same tank. By the way its a 125 gallon tank

Good luck catching them! I have two CAE's and two otos in my 75 gallon. (because I couldn't catch the CAE's and the otos just went in with them) My CAE's aren't really aggressive towards anyone, maybe they are abnormal, or been beaten on my the red tailed sharks enough times. they will follow other fish, but never ever act aggressive towards them. The little otos stay out of everyone's ways, and always seem to be working, the CAE's only eat algae if it is on the wood.
