you wont see much of them with 4, and really it should be 6 minimum as they are shoaling fishYes - 4 would be fine

the algae issue isnt my point, its the shoaling ability, there will be plenty of algae if it is full of slow growing waxy leaved plants such as anubias.you wont see much of them with 4, and really it should be 6 minimum as they are shoaling fish
my 3 are always out the front in search of algae & have laid eggs this week so i doubt if they are that unhappy.
not sure what your basing this on as im sure 3 or 4 healthy otto's with a suffient food supply would be happier than 6 competing for a smaller amout of algae!!
if i was the OP i wouldnt i would go with some small plecothe 2 main reasons for otto's dying in an aquarium are inadequate water quality & starving..
im sure you already know this but the above post is just my opinion from my experience
I agree with you on shoaling but sometimes 30 & 60 litre tanks are just too small
