TheShrimporium Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I keep Otos in all my shrimp tanks, normally just one in each but my 45 gallon frag tank has three. My usual wake up and feed/check all my tanks routine, I noticed something wiggling in my TB tank. I assumed it was just another "goodie" that pops up randomly in shrimp tanks like hydra, planaria, etc. But as I took my eyes off of it, I noticed it in the corner of my eye.... swimming towards the front glass and attaching itself. Sure enough, baby Otos!!! I only counted about 4 of them but I'm sure there are more in hiding. I love waking up to surprises!!!

TheShrimporium Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Louie, I keep my house thermostat between 72-74°. No heaters in my shrimp tanks besides my Cardinal and Opae Ula tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pika Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Congratulations!! I bet they're adorable... or will be once they're bigger than specks. They're obviously happy enough about where they're living to get busy, so something's going right! (My Otos and shrimp are 72-74*F as well) PS: PICTURES! ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Thank you both . I am either going to go with Ottos or nerite snails . I just assumed Ottos were 78 degree type fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
