The back of this tank is terribly coated with algae but I do this to feed the otos and they seem to love it because I have never had them healtier. There is a forth but he never poses with the other 3.
The one sword is the oddest coloration I have ever seen with the half and half almost like a he is wearing a suit or coveralls. All of the swords came from an original set of 3 female and 1 male scarlett red swords so you just never know what you are going to get when you breed them.
I bred all of the cories except for the Albino and the Panda. All of them are the same age. I am not sure why the sizes are so different.
I have had the ottos for well over a year now, maybe close to 2. I always stress out when I see the red gills but they have been that way since I got them.
The Albino is actually the second largest in the tank aside from the Panda. I have one larger C. Trilineatus than that one but he/she hides all the time.
