I had six Tigers Barbs and 6 Rosy Barbswhich lasted almost a year, but then
started dropping like flies. The water seemed fine and the other fish were
OK, including the Tetras.

Yes I have Otos in both planted tanks. The large tank has been neglected
most of the summer (CO2 empty and one bulb gone) as I keep hoping to get the
90 gallon going. Both tanks are pretty much consumed with huge Sword plants
and a few Red Ludwigia. The office tank has really done well without my
intervention.
