Help With Otos

[Fluffybiker]

Hey all

Have had 2 oto's for abotu a week now and they dont seem happy.

They both have a real thing for the heater in the tank! and aren't eating any food i put in for them
and there isn't any growing algae left!

What can i do for them??

cheers

You need to buy at least another 3 as they prefer to be in groups.
Try feeding them algae wafers, cucumber, courgette etc. and see if they will eat them.

cucumber works for mine I only had two they seemed fine alone. I got 4 now though and the little ones follow the bigger two around. Sometimes they sit on flakes that sink to the bottom but it's very rare they'll ever eat any food I put in so don't worry too much about that.
