    I'm kind of interested in buying 3 Otos for my 30gal, which is now the living quarters of a fairly good sized Angelfish, corydoras catfish, Cardinal tetras, and a few livebearers. My question is this: Is there any chance that the Angelfish will see the Otos as a snack? Originally I had wanted to get some German blue rams, but since no one around me sells them I desided to go with Angelfish. He's really pretty. Kind of Yellow with darker yellow/orange specks all over his dorsal area. and he has brilliant blue feeler-whatchacall'em fins. I'm kind of attached to this guy and don't think I'll be giving him up. Anyways... Any advice would be apprieciated.

    If the Angel were to get peckish, the first ones to go would be the cardinals.

    I have a friend whose Altum angel choked on Oto and died.
    I believe the pectoral fin sort of locked in place such that it cannot be spitted out and could not be swallowed.

    Depends on the size of your Otos.

    hmm.... sounds familiar. My mom had one of those grow-a-frogs a while back and we had a large blue gourami with him. One day after coming back from vacation we found that the frog was dead, and in its mouth was the back half of the gourami...

    Yeah, I had figured I would have to change something because of the cardinal/Angel issue, but still waiting on mom's permission to set up another tank
