what types of algae are ottos best at eating?
do they perhaps eat that course rough algae that loves to grow on glass? I
have 3 CAE, 7 SAE, 1 pleco and they eat everything BUT that type of rough
algae (and its a pain to scrape the glass clean every 2-3 weeks).

I have a moderately planted 55 gallon tank with some, not much, brown
algae.
I currently have two Otos and was wondering, if there is not enough algae
left for them to eat, what should I feed them?

The others have given you good advice. I doubt your otos will ever starve
in a
tank that size. In fact, I would consider getting a couple more. Otos
are at
their best in small groups, and you have room for them.

Most of my otos aren't interested in anything but algae. In my smaller
tank,
which has no to algae to speak of, the otos sometimes eat the veggies I
put in
for the snails. Zucchini slices (frozen, then thawed), peas, romaine
lettuce,
apple slices, canned green beans. In my large tank, where there's more
algae
and the otos are extremely fat, they are never interested in veggies.
