Hey Alex!
You have to tell us how you spawned them! Any tricks?
Spawning ottos are my next catfish project...

Hi Clement, try these:

hopefully you will get it or find someone to help translate.
They allready spanned in my community tank, but none of the kids survived.

I'm interested in knowing if anyone has bred the Otocinclus sp. zebra? They seem to be very unavailable from a genus of small fish that's breedable in aquariums... :?

Thanks joern, maybe I can give them to my teacher to translate them for me :D

alexv1n: You're so a lucky guy! Maybe you've got some tricks for us?? Like what was the temperature, what kind of tank, how old and how big are your Oto's??

I had several breedings on them a couple of years back.
