Hi all,
I had Otocinclus in with Apistogramma cactuoides, and the Apistogramma basically just ignored them.

They ignore them until they have eggs or fry to protect, at which time a guarding mother might attack the eyes if the Otocinclus (or Corydoras, Farlowella, etc) blunders too close. I have not had Apistos pluck out catfish eyes (yet) but Nannacara mothers sure will.

Never had any trouble with otos and apistos. Corydoras and plecos are another story!

I've had the same experience as slimbolen- even when guarding eggs or fry, Apistos don't even seem to regard otos as fish. They're just little algae robots or something. Corys, on the other hand, will get chased away ruthlessly.

Hello Martin, though I am not sure if I am adressing the right person, I still hope I am. I got 2 trios of Apistogramma psammophila from you some time ago. I was lucky to breed them, too, but, unfortunately, I got mainly males, 15, and only 2 females. That's why today, I have only three males left.
