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
Could you tell me which species they are?
Thanks[emoji6]

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.
What do you think? I wish breed them but I'm not sure if I doing well.
Thanks

O. hoppei the caudal bloth seems to be too small, possible

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
