Hello from Virginia

Post by James0816 »

Hello from Virginia. Been meaning to come out here and look around and finally getting around to doing it. Been a fish keeper for some 30 odd years now. Currently (well...for quite a while actually) doing much research on the Otocinclus. I have been very successfull in breeding efforts and looking to expand to Cocama. Looking forward to diving into the vast rhelm out here and see what i can find.

Hi, Welcome to Planet Catfish :)

If you have anything to share about breeding otos, I'd be all ears (or eyes). My females kept getting gravid and then dying :( Have a whole bunch of males now. And many of us would love to see how someone with experience get O.cocama over the hump. Many people try them but they seem to never take to captivity and die off in short order. I don't know of anyone who has kept them past about 3 months.

Hope you'll have some secrets to share :thumbsup:
Racing, shoes and fish. Nothing else matters. Oh, and bacon.

Thx all. Looking forward to picking up any and all info I can find on the lovely little Oto's. The O. Cocama is my next target for my project. Finding them of course at the moment is the major hurdle.
