Otos and Shrimps....


After a few a trial and error I finally manage to make them stay alive. Now the aquarium holds 7 otos (Otocinclus affinis) , around 11 Red Cherry Shrimp (Neocaridinia sp) , and about 9 Green Shrimp (Caridinia cf Balbauti green I think). Although i had the otos around two weeks now and the shrimps around 3 -4 months now, they are still not breeding. Aquarium are heavily planted to initiate breeding but still no sign of fry or shrimplet. Using a sponge filter as power filter can suck adult shrimp easily.
