Honestly I dont see how he stills swims. Needless to say, big guy earns his keep! :red_mouth
*pay no attention to the plants, it's just a little grow out tank with various cuttings

Nothing! They're in a little 20H with DIY CO2 and honestly too much light. While there's no real algae problems to speak of, they never lack for something to eat.
Here's his partner, Slim Thug. Cant get him to come on the glass atm. He's fat too...

In my old heavily planted my Ottos got fat like that. I broke that tank down and now they are in a reg tank and slimmed down a lot. I swore to god they where prego but just never down loaded.

Can your fatties come over and teach my 2 otos in the 7g how to clean?
They're real slackers even though I see plenty of algae (diatoms) on the glass and plants they are not remotely fat. I've not managed to train them onto veggies or wafers yet (been trying.. they're still kinda new) so they are living off tank noms.. just not being overly zealous with their eating. I've had to raise the light a few inches since they're not dealing with algae to let me keep it close to tank=.=

I guess? He seems to be fine, although I havent measured his cholesterol levels. :icon_eek:
I just brought those two home from the LFS and dropped them in. That's it. No special foods or anything. That was about 5 months ago, they were both skinny as can be. From day one they've been non-stop eating. Going all over from leaf to leaf to the glass... Main thing in the tank is a bit of green algae (not sure what it's called exactly) that gets on the glass and some plant leaves. There's no real visible BBA or diatoms. :knocksonwood: The HC has a bit of something(?) though, not sure what that is, just gave it a major trim because it was about 2" thick.

I love this thread!! 
My Otos get quite round at times, but are no match for Two Ton.
SO glad someone else names their Otos too... although mine are not near so interesting.
Loner hangs by herself (and gets the fattest of them all) and Bert&Ernie are darn near inseparable, and stay slimmer. They'll all hang out sometimes, but Loner is willing to go where the others won't for the noms.
I'm pretty sure your Otos could take mine in a street brawl though... anyone named Slim Thug is prolly always packin'.

Well he(she?) certain is not fat, but one of the 7g otos figured out zucchini is food after posting about it! Hope he remembers to tell the other its food and doesn't just hog it all haha.
Pardon the lousy photo, can you see him on the slice?
I swear my fish can read, typed message to someone recently and mentioned my betta (also in the 7g) never makes bubble nests so don't think he's into breeding.. well next day (and ever since) he's been making bubble nests :icon_roll
