    Found this little guy last night.
    Think it's a otto, and further inspection shows that there are at least 2.

    Was surprised that they bred and some fry actually survived.

    @Broder thought so too, still not 100% sure especially with the pattern on its tail. I do have some zebra ottos too, so could be that.

    And I was actually waiting on my cory's to lay eggs as they have been doing the dance for a while now. And with the amount and type of fish in this tank I was really surprised to see the little guy.

    Where on earth did you manage to find Zebra Ottos? Now I'm even more excited about your hatchling!

    Bought another guys tank contents, and he had a few varieties, I think there is a zebra or 2. I hardly see them so my memory is a bit vague tbh. But I'll double check.
