My otos are spawning!

Apparently according to a few web sources, namely www.otocinclus.com, this is a somewhat rare phenomena to actually SEE them in the act...

Congrats on the otos spawning Parker! I hear they can be hard to keep and since spawning is a even more rare, it shows how healthy they are and how well you are caring for them. Good job with your fish!

It looks like my daughter's killifish may be laying eggs as well.

Wow, your aquariums are really doing well, especially with Otos.

My understanding of Otos (as I never have bred these) is that Otos rarely breed in captivity

That's what I've read. Having them spawn is rare and actually seeing them do it is almost unheard of.

That's exciting! Are you going to try to save the fry?

[goldenpuon]

This is very exciting! You are definitely doing something very right with your fish and plants. Both seem to be thriving! If you are saving the fry, I would be very interested in seeing pictures if you take any. I am sure there are not many photos of baby otos born in a tank out there.

Maybe the plants and very good care of your tank fooled the fish into thinking they were in the wild!
