This is what my mentor, a master catfish keeper/ breeder has told me to tell people about oto- they need circulation to survive, they need an area of moderate flow, an area of stagnation and ample plant growth to thrive. I adhere to these rules and have made personal observations that strongly support this. They have acted like canaries in a coal mine for my filters malfunctioning. That being said- there are plenty of others that have completely different experiences, I don't know why. I just know that when I keep them the way I was told to I have never experienced the sensitivity and losses I hear about from people in the hobby. When I don't "keep them properly" they slowly die.
Other than my warning about otos your stocking list sounds really nice!!
