Its the first time I've kept them so not to sure how effective they are. They do seem to rumage around in the algea patches so I presume that they eating the stuff. On Friday I put a piece of Riccia in the tank and they seem to be very attracted to it. Whether they eating it or the algea who knows. The ottos seem to do a good job on the glass though. I've also just purchased 2 flying foxes to help keep the algae down. I'm also waiting to find some cherry shrimps to see if they do a good job too. |

They seem to be swiming around with each other no aggression yet. Are they schooling fish? |

No Way!!!! Flying foxes tolerate each other when they're youngsters but become VERY territorial as they grow! rfriday9 has it right!!

I've never kept them before. They in a 4 ft so they should be fine. If
they start getting aggressive I'll move to to Chao's tank. Thank for
info Jim.
