Fish Fanatic
I've had three otos for 6 days in my 10g tank.
Two seem just content to graze on any surface they can see algae on, but the third is a bit different.
He spends more time swimming and less time eating. Also occasionally he will swim at the surface near the glass and then do a backflip so he's upside down mouthing at the surface of the water. I've noticed this most at feeding time. The action is definitely deliberate - he swims normally most of the time.
I put a blanched spinach leaf in for them last night but there is still plenty of algae to go round and it hasn't been touched.
Is he just getting at bits of food to small for me to see, or should I worry (More than I am at the moment).
Other occupants 5 white clouds, 5 zebra danios.
Stats Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate ~40. Thermostat set at 72 but it's warmer than that at the moment.
