    I just brought 5 oto catfishes, will be placing them along with my bunch of sakura shrimps. While quarantine them, place a small piece of shrimp food to try. But they don't seems to be interested at all. So how you guys feed them? With algae wafer?

    Thought they are supposed to help you clean algae? don't worry, think they are still feeling stressed and still getting used to the new environment; once they feel at home, they'll come eat your shrimp food. Healthy oto eats

    I give mine carnivore pellets, and for algae, they eat whatever is present in the tank. They are shy at first but when settled down will come out more often.

    Mine love Borneowild Spinach. Each of them will hog the wafer all day long, constantly fending off an army of hungry shrimplets
