Cheeky Otto...

Noticed one of our ottos sat on mr catfish thisevening.. dont think he was sucking on him but i chased him away anyway...

Otto then snuck back over and sat on him again...
Chased him off again and havent seen him do it again.

I'm a bit bothered that the otto is getting parasitic tendancies

is this unusual or has anyone else had problems?

I read that sometimes they do attach to larger fish. The link below has a comment from one person saying that her ottos got attach to a larger fish and killed him.

Mine haven't done so.

I'll have to keep an eye on them...

The funny thing is the size difference - Mr catfish is about 6 inches now - Little and large!
