just found my otto dead!!!!! thinking of giving up on keeping them to be honest as they always kick the bucket!!!

Tank conditions r perfect ammonia and nitrite are zero and nitrate is 20 which is same as tapwater, ph is 6.5

So wot am i do wrong?

I started feeding the otto an algae wafer a couple times a week, didn't want to do it too much as i need him to munch the algae for me. He started getting really fat and healthy so i cut down the wafers so he had 1 every other night thinking i gave him to much. then last night i notice he was quiet than usual, then today dead!!!! :sad: on looking at his body was really thin and sucked in, this was very quick to happen.

Wot other type of algae eater could i get that stays small but that also stays alive longer? bearing in mind i have corydoras as bottom feeders and my tank is 24" by 14" by 18" high

:-( R.I.P little fella
