Pieces of slate and artificial plants were always my best algae
transports. They will probably be fine as Otos are the most sensitive to
the first tank change. After acclimation to the local water and having
their bellys filled, they are much more robust. A few pieces of slate or
glass left in the current tank (or the empty hex, under 24/7 lights)
should seed and get them through the move. jmo
