Breeding Otos

Please don't mind my ramblings, this is more of a "how I did it and my random observations"
rather than a polished breeding report.

Beersnob and I have finally gotten our zebra otos up and running, and now have fry over 6 months. They seem to breed about every 2-3 weeks. For us, the key seemed to ...

Since my dear hubby (Beersnob) hasn't posted the basic info yet, you can find it at http://tinyurl.com/dyx43 I forgot to mention that the filter is actually for a 20gal (I think), and is set up for physical and biological filtering only- we took out the carbon so it wouldn't absorb any hormones from ...

Corydoras bilineatus vs. habrosus egg size??

Last December I had been trying to breed my bilineatus, to no avail (at least that's what I thought at the time). So, after a few months of attempting to get them going, I moved them out of the breeder tank, and moved my habrosus back in. I had bred the habrosus before, but lost all the fry. I knew ...

Something REALLY odd going on with cory(?) eggs

Well, A bit ago I decided to move my habrosus to a tank I have set up for spawning my otos, to try to get the cories to spawn, and then move them back to their regular tank, and move the otos IN to the hormone-filled water, to hopefully induce them to spawn.

After a couple of weeks, I wasn't ...

Are bloodworms a problem with other cats besided plecos?

I was just reading over in one of the forums that bloodworms should be only fed once a week or so to plecos. I was wondering if this was a problem for any other cats, as I have a sailfin poleco, cories, synadontis, clown and yoyo loaches, ghost cats, botia angelicus, and plecoltias in various ...

zebra otos- attempting to breed, ? on mixing 2 populations

I recently bought 9 zebra otos from 2 different sources. I had posted a want-ad on aquabid, and 3 are from Waterlife, and have very well-defined stripes, like the photo on the top left of the cat-e-log. When I asked if he had any more, he said they were the only ones left, and didn't mention he ...

Hi-

Beersnob's wife here.

Sadly, I found that the smaller pleco had passed away last night. Without going through pictures of the whole L-series, he looked similar to Glyptoperichthys joselimaianus (L 001) from what I remember. I'll have to see if I took any photos of him and will post if I do. If ...
