One more question about otto's, in light of some of the stuff I've found on the web: Do otto's really need to have at least one other of their species as...
Welcome to the group Edith, your only concern should be to verify if you have lost cycle, which is likely. You can do so by testing for ammonia and nitrite,...
I don't think they are nocturnal. I have more than enough hiding places for

A clown loach will get pretty big for a 29G tank! I'd recommend a yoyo loach. My guy gets moved from tank to tank as I drag snails in on plants. -- Growing...
