Long story as short as possible…
had 5 otos in my 20 long with an old decaying piece of driftwood. When it came time to upgrade to my 38 long, I found all 5, which was strange because I didn’t think I had any left.
in the past, I’ve had otos that would graze on algae all day long, algae wafers and zucchini no problem. (Unplanted and fake decorations)
still no active sign in the new tank they’re eating algae. But they are still hiding in very hard to see places seemingly chewing on the wood. As long as they are eating and staying healthy, growing like crazy, I’m happy for them.
miss the days though when they were out and about to see them.
Has anyone else had this experience? I know there a few theories out there that otos choose to eat wood like plecos do, so I’m not totally surprised here.
