Otto Help

[Phil Marsh]

Hi
I recently upgraded my tank to a bigger 95L Aquarium...
i have had my 2 ottos for the best part of a year now, and they have been absolutely fine.
since i have moved them to the new tank they have been swimming constantly bashing against the glass looking quite stressed. (this was 4 days ago now that they where moved)
could this be due to lack of food? i have put 2 x slices of courgette into the tank on day 1 (they love this) and they haven't even touched it! I'm worried that they will die of starvation etc...
The parameters of my tank are all normal as i have seeded my tank with all the media/decor from the old tank.
Thanks!

So. All the params are normal, ph, gh, nitrates, nitrites, checking for ammonia couldn't hurt. Any other fish in tank? Otos are schooling fish and they need more than just two.

hi, yes in the tank there are also 3 neons 1 guppy and 4 shrimp reason being for the low numbers is because my previous tank was only 30L and a few passed away from old age I'm guessing (in the old tank)
all the other fish in the tank are acting normal and are happily swimming around all my fish are over a year old

yes the parameters are as follows
ammonia 0ppm
nitrite 0ppm
nitrate 40-50ppm
