Hygrophila corymbosa 'Siamensis' is a very hardy aquarium plant that is both readily available and easy to grow. H. corymbosa 'Siamensis' is an outstanding plant for mid to background plantings


The Otto originates from southeastern Brazil. It is also known as the Golden Otocinclus, the Dwarf Suckermouth, the Pygmy Suckermouth and the Midget Suckermouth Catfish. The scientific species names for the Otto include Otocinclus affinis and Otocinclus vittatus. The body shape and coloring are similar to a Flying Fox and a Chinese Algae Eater. There is a dark, black mottled band running from its head into its tail fin. Below the banding it is silvery white. Above the banding it is brown in a mottled pattern. Water conditions should be very clean.


Dymax CO2 bubble counter at 1 bubble per 3 secs


Dymax digital thermometer, keeping the temp below 30C

Thank you I hope you enjoyed the photos. The plants in the tank has grown so much I had to trim them regularly. But I prefer a planted tank than a bare tank. It is nicer to watch the shrimps swim around their forest. Most of the shrimps I have now are yellow, orange and rili. I still have some CRS in there.

wow your area must be always cloudy 25.6 with fan?? Hmmm abit hard i use fan on my 2 ft morning 30 night 27 add another fan still the same gave up now water all evaporated.
