Shrimpie Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 So what do you guys think about adding a couple of otos to my new tank? It is fully cycled - getting my shrimp today - but I was thinking that otos would help with algae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 IMO, if you want to get rid of algae, add a nerite or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpie Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I would look at nerites - but I have 2 assassin snails - who would love to eat them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 otos dont eat most type of algae. make sure it eats the type you have. oto is shrimp safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve R. Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Don't worry about the assassin snails if your nerite snails are bigger than the assassins. My nertites are bigger and are left unharmed. Shrimpie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlsthuy1 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I don't think 2 assasin will harm a big nitrite, but I seen a group of small assassins eat a nitrite in my tank before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
