    Wow, I never thought I would see E. triandra locally :blob8: That triandra carpet looks really nice. I was really lucky to get two small patches from the local river here growing in my tank and I send some to Richard.

    im going to be moving the triandra to a bigger area in my tank this weekend so that its got some space to spread, where it is now really doesnt do it justice.

    They all doing fantastic dude I've got 30 survivors that are now almost adults !

    I must say that wild vs tank bread are totally different, all my adults hide during the day and all of the youngster never hide they shoal, and are always out and about chomping down.

    That's great man! I remember standing in front of the big ADA tanks at the Sumida Aquarium and watching the shoals of ottos swimming up and down the tanks! It's an awesome sight. But I'm talking hundreds of them! I dig Ottos!

    I hope to get to 100 aswell haha they need to keep breeding!!

    I'm so in love with ottos right now that's why I'm not adding any other fish believe me it's tough I've been itching but I keep thinking that if I give them a chance I'll get to experience something different

    sorry must have missed this, well here's an updated picture of the tank, been trimming tons but i think things have still managed to get out of hand.

    excuse the refection on the tank its terribly difficult when you dont have a proper point and shoot....
