How Hyper Are Your Otos?

[Super Dude]

my new ones are crazy. they are really small, though. they are also in with active zebra danios. will they settle down over time or with maturity?

also, should i feed them their algae wafers in the morning or evening?

Hey Super Dude.......I had a few otto's in the past and for the most part they just moved around on the glass sucking algae. Occasionally though, they would get a little active and swim pretty fast around the tank looking for a new spot. I would also think they are just a little skiddish from being in a new tank. I'm by no means an expert but this is just from personal experience.

yeah i was thinking the new tank thing too. they were pretty much what you described in the store. i think their first dark period tonight will calm them.

Yep, that should calm them down a little bit. I'm definitely gonna get some more of those little guys...I loved them! How many did you get and how big is your tank?
