Question For Alexandcarmen About Oto

[PaPeRo]

Hi I recently purchased an Oto and have noticed that when it's on the glass I could see a swirl pattern on its belly. What I would like to know is if this is normal for Otos or am I looking at signs of a coiled internal parasitic worm? I will try to post a picture when I can get it to stay still on the glass.

Hi PaPeRo

This swirly pattern, is it green in colour?? If so, then you have nothing to worry about, it would be poop you see . With most fish with white bellies, you are able to see the poop in their bellies just before they poop it out. If you're able to post a pic, I'd be able to tell you what I think.

Keep well, Carmen
