NotDaleGribble Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Basic question I guess will these guys interact or breed at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 @xXInkedPhoenixXkeeps both of these should have lots of useful information for you on their behavior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 @Colu gives me a lot of credit. I have zebra aka tiger Otos but not Orange ones (had to look those up). I keep them and Vittatus (common) and have had my Vittatus successfully breed (not on purpose). So far no luck with the Zebras accidentally breeding. You can check that out on my Accidental Oto Keeper journal, in the link on my tag below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotDaleGribble Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 My main thing is wanted to get a good group of Zebras like 10 or so and had a solo common Otocinclus in my tank just moved, wanted to see if I needed to get him more common oto buddies for him to be happy.

xXInkedPhoenixX Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 The Vittatus/common I have found does better in groups of at least 6- they have very low bioloads in my experience. I have about 70 in a 20 gallon (well seasoned with 2 sponge and 1 HOB) and have no issues with water parameters. The Zebras I have do hang out with the Vittatus, and my Zebras aren't always all together. I can't advise on the Orange Oto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXInkedPhoenixX Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 @Colu I figured, no worries. They're cool little fish, saw one place online though selling them for $30 a pop. That's not a cheap fish and you'd want several. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotDaleGribble Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Ya a couple hundred for a good group. I just set up my 75 so I’ll give this some time before investing into them. But I’ll get my common some buddies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
