can i keep 1 oto alone? or do i need to buy a pair?

Possible to keep only 1, but its gonna be real lonely plus also hope you don't mind looking high low for the fella! He tends to hide a lot if lonely. Like mine - I haven't seen the fella since I released into the tank

can anybody tell me what moss are they? I don't know how to differentiate...

1.

2.

3.

Applebee:
Looks like spicky and java moss to me.

ph seems high to me.
How long you start your tank?
Did you check CO2 overdose?
How is other fish condition?

i bought it at NA last night, already put it in my 2 feet tank. doing his job 2 minutes after i put it in the tank.
i dont want my oto to be stress. this morning look okay. worried he will be bully by golden algea eater (2 of them) which twice bigger than him..

@applebee
if it java, i would like to trade with u with my spiky moss....
looking for java moss, a lot of java moss

Before i got my solenoid, yes.
It is better to use a Co2 indicator to check if you are overdosing co2 or not.
Refer wikipedia for profile of cherry shrimps >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_shrimp

What soil you using? normally if using ADA then ph will be less than 7. somemore you are dosing co2.
For methods about lowering ph, kindly view ciohbu previous comments

got some java moss to give away for free.location upm serdang.

can i get some?

ADA will leak lots of ammonia and nutrient into water during initial set up

make sure u cycle the tank properly to get rid of ammonia

and also control ur lightning period / put some fast absorbing plants such as moss or rotala to control the nutrient before algae kick in normal plants will need some time to stable down if u just rescape, co2 level should be higher too during 1st or 2nd week

another alternative is dry start method
