More underwater gardening, and finding a long-lost fish

Did more pruning of the stem plants in the aquarium today; now you can actually see the water surface. And more importantly, the rasboras will be able to get food from the surface.

The rasboras did some fighting right after I finished with the plants. They flare all their fins out and sidle up to each other (parallel) or circle each other (antiparallel) until one lunges for the other and the other runs. They eventually calmed down. With more open space now, we hope they'll start schooling together again.

We also found both otos...it's been a long time since we've seen both of them at the same time (and it's hard to tell which is which without a direct comparison) that I'd declared one missing, presumed dead. Here's one (I think this is the older oto) sucked onto the glass being fat:

And here's the other one chilling with a shrimp along the back wall:
