I love having a big group. You get to see so many different behaviors. I think a small tank with 3 peas would be cool too. Feeding time is certainly fun!
Once more a great and informative video. More or less I got the same constellation of species in my tank. Going pretty well the last months. Also noticed a big difference in the behaviour of my Otos when I bought a couple more of them as they are schooling fish as well. Thank you for the videos.
Thanks so much! Yes Ottos love to school. I had 4 but two died very quick so I will need to add more soon. Those species mix really well. Glad they are working out well for you! : )
I added a pleco and 3 otocinclus a week ago and seem to be completely fine. No one is chasing, harassing or bullying anyone. I'm keeping my eyes on them, but so far so good.
maybe go 1 less nerite.. it cold cut the poop load in half. It may slow down as they clean up the algae.. less to eat.. less to poop. My nerite doesn't poop that much... but maybe it's just not eating enough lol.
I’m going to buy 2 more nerite snails when I get my puffer finally. They’re really pretty and my 1 that I have are really good at cleaning up decaying leaves from some of the plants. Cool tank!
“Really long grass” = Vallisneria
I feed my otos courgette mostly but use a long slice and I scrape out the wet seed center, my Amano Shrimp also love it.
Very cool seeing the pea puffers together in a group like that.

For Otos......Repashy Solient Green

i heard puffers prefer quiet water, so they may not enjoy the wave-maker
Love hearing the updates! X
Rachel Salisbury Great to hear. Thank you so much for watching!
Need a vid on breeding the snails
Hey Lori. Episode 4 does exactly that. I may do an updated version though.
Are those breeding snails just ones you got from a pond

That's a good mix! I am having trouble keeping ottos and have 3 with my peas too. If you can keep them healthy they are amazing tankmates. : )

Matthew Maneri Yeah I took my Nerites back to the store in the end. Much less poop now!
Great video !!!!! 👍

Hufflepuff Pets They are nice additions to a pea Puffer tank for sure! They look great. Do you find they create a lot of waste?
Can you tell me what size tank the pea puffers are in?
Annalee Sure. The tank is 40 gallons or 180 litres.
@@peapufferkingdom118 Thank you.
