The ottos which bred are another couple that I bought during the summer. I put them in my small shrimp tank I mentioned about earlier and they bred within 3 weeks. That tank has been setup for years but got a soil layer about a year and a half ago. My other 4 ottos are 3 different species and I've got no male/female pair from them. But they get on regardless.
Here is the tank in which the two bred:
I don't know how effective they are at cleaning but mine is as active as the rest, if not more active. They do all hang around doing nothing sometimes but all of them are very lively at night. My tank is in the sitting room and I can always see white bellies dancing on the glass when the lights are off and the zebra otto is the most regular as he's on it during the day too.

I was warned by the LFS that Zebra Otos can be lazy and that they shouldn't be relied upon to clean the tank.
