Hi,

just one small remark, you certainly don't have:

These would certainly not survive for long in a discus tank. Most probable it is O. vittatus, O. hoppei or O. macrospilus.
However, I keep the fingers crossed that you can raise some.
Can you write something about water parameters and food ?

Cheers,

Hi kamas88,

It's possible that they aren't O. Affinis, but I'm not able to know which are them. Show you several pictures

I have 30 babys in a small tank of 2 litres since Monday. I feed with spirulina flakes and bbs but I don't know if they eat bbs.

not sure, for O. hoppei the caudal bloth seems to be too small, possible O. vittatus.

Hi,

Thanks naval93, they are 7 days and I feed them with cucumber, spirulina flakes and today I have added spirulina wafer. Moreover they have robur's leaves in his small tank.

Kamas88 thank you for your request. I will call O. Vittatus.

Thanks

O. vittatus is the more common oto, so if you got them in a store, that's probably what they are.

The babies are cute! Keep feeding them algae foods and keep us updated :)
