Ottos playing hide and seek

[lmhicks101]

So I had 3 ottos for the last 7 months in my 29 gallon and a week or 2 ago I noticed I only had 2 left. I moved some plants and kept an eye out and couldn’t find it. They actually look a little different with one having wider eyes then the others and another having a nipped tail. I gave up and thought it was dead. Just now I was playing with my new tank and all 3 were on the front glass for a second then ran off. Am I gonna be expecting a batch of Otto fry or was it just being nocturnal? They usually are out on the spiralis or wendti if not on the glass so easy to find.

They're mostly nocturnal in my experience. Also swim off when anyone approaches.

Then mine are oddballs. They literally just sit there when I’m messing with the tank and I have to shoo them away when they’re on a plant I need to trim or the side of the tank I’m cleaning. I’ve literally had to poke one several times in the tail to get it to move.

I have a few that are brave, but of 70 some odd Otos that's not a high percentage! 🙃

Mine act more like the ones @lmhicks101has. They’re bold and up front.

They hang as groups in my 45 g display. Like little oto gangs.
