[bigfish]

hey as you remember i bought two otto's abot 2 weeks ago, one has died he couldn't stick to glass and i just found him upside down on the gravel>>>>GUTTED

My question is 'will the surviving otto be ok or shall i buy him a mate to swim with'?

I have trouble trying to find him some days?? coz he soooo small

Still hasn't a name!!!!

Yes get a couple if you can they like to be in gangs, don't forget that they need excellent tank conditions, good luck.

They usually die if kept by themselves. I would go with at least one more but a group of 6 would be better.

Are you really keeping 27 and 35 fish in 28g and 25g tanks, respectively?

Don't tell mine that, I have 3 in my fry tank, in seperate sections and they doing great, one has been on its own for months and is a little fatty.

They never been bothered by conditions iver. I say if it eating ok, let it be unless you want more then fine.

I have 40 fish in my 12g, and there fine happy and healthy, though I run 2 filters and a airtration unit.

Yes i do keep 27 fish in one tank and 35 in my other tanks, i do water changes every week and monitor levels of ammonia and nitrite at regular intervals, most of the fish are young and some are being donated to my college over the christmas holidays because i'm kind and the fish have a longer tank 48" to swim in at college i have already re homed 2 male swords and 2 female swords i may offer them a few more females so the males can make babies to their hearts content!!
