Default Food for Otos if no algae?

I have 4 otos in a 37G.. they won't even LOOK at the algae wafers I gave
them.. so now I use them as a diet variation for the other fish (other
fish=danios only.. since they chase away everybody else that comes near
their "find")

the otos all still look pretty fat, and occasionally I still see some
diatoms growing haze, so I guess there's till enough food.. (just enough
otos to keep up with the cleaning)

I'm sorry, I didn't intend it as a wiseguy answer. There really IS always
enough algae in a 55 gallon tank for, probably, ten or more full grown

otos.
Unless you're using chemicals.

I've had otos for many years and I've never supplemented. I sometimes put
veggie wafers in for my pl*cos, but the otos ignore them.

I would like to know the answer to that also. (And not just the wise-guy
answer that they will always have enough).

Hi All,
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?

Thanks,
