Who's Better At Hiding,oto's Or Amano's?

[stu40]

I've got both in my planted tank, not that you'd ever know it.
Think i saw an Oto, couple of days ago.Been probably a week since the last Amano sighting

 

[ZoddyZod]

My amano have set up camp in a piece of wood with several holes in it. They very rarely venture out - the furthest I have seen in six months is around 2 inches away on the substrate.

Think mine must be male.They don't seem to clean anything

 

[ZoddyZod]

you've only got the one?

get some more in there - they'll probably be a bit more adventurous.

4.was going to get more.but if you don't see em, what's the point

I have 5 Oto's & see them all the time
They have plenty of hiding places, but don't use them, they're usually on the wood or plants at the front of the tank

 

[ZoddyZod]

I know that feeling. I've got 5 and would like a bigger colony......but at around £3-£5 each around here, I don't fancy it much.

I have three amanos and they're the most boisterous things in the tank, steal food from the mouths of rams. Never hiding, always out and about. Same with the otos, 4 of those and can always see at least two. Plenty of hiding places but they obviously don't feel the need to.

+1, yours might be young Stu? They'll soon learn to fight for some food

You said stus might be young, so I was saying my boisterous ones are at least 5 years old.
