Theplatymaster Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I heard that Dean did this and was wondering if anyone had any success or tips doing it. I have heard nothing about it and it makes me think that breeding otos is a trade secret, but if you have had success, please tell me here! I really want to try this.

Guppysnail Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Here you go. @xXInkedPhoenixX is our resident oto breeder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) @Guppysnail is too kind. I wouldn't call myself a breeder- my Otos though have successfully spawned and I've mananged to raise over 60 Vittatus. People on here have mentioned they have done it- but nobody else has documented it here that I've seen. So my journal is just the story of my accidentally doing it (and hoping I can accidentally do it again- but honestly I'm ok if they don't!) 🙂 Edited June 2, 2022 by xXInkedPhoenixX 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theplatymaster Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 so what did you do? the journal isnt so clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tihshho Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 From my understanding of that thread it just sort of happened. Inked didn't setup the tank with intentions to breed, just happened to be that their tank and the speciemens they got happened to be the perfect mix to get a spawn. Personally, I'd like a breakdown of the setup and params just to be able to reference this later to attempt spawning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Exactly as @Tihshho says. Something about how I'm keeping the tanks gets them to spawn. It's not regular- I'm not trying- but others can see what I am and am not doing and work around that to see if that works. I've also successfully raised the fry to adulthood- raising fry isn't always easy- so my method can be copied and modified as needed- I have very few fry losses. I picked fish that "wouldn't breed" for my original tank so I just tripped into this whole Oto baby thing....
