Hello Fish Lovers,
My concern is for the health of the Otocinclus Catfish. I am setting up a planted/discus tank (95 Gallon) and from what I have been reading about these little fellows is they prefer water between 72-78 degrees (F). But, discus requires much warmer waters of 82 to 86 degrees (F).
I want to purchase a dozen or so of these miracle workers on algae when my tank is established, but what about the differences in water? Is there one type of Otocinclus Catfish that might suit this purpose over another?
Also, looking into a few albino Bristlenose Plecos, same issue with temperature.
Thanks for your help!
