redfish Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) I moved two Otocinclus out of a 4 week quarantine yesterday afternoon and I guess one didn't like the transfer process. I did bump one trying to get it in the net. One is fine and one died within an hour of transfer. Tank parameters really close to each other so I don't suspect any issues there. Sometimes it just happens. I guess I'll add another couple Oto's to my next purchase. Happy Friday! Edited December 9, 2022 by redfish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be sensitive, but some of the most rewarding fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfish Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Yeah, the tanks were set to the same temp and everything else is the same. The tanks are sitting next to each other so it was easy to move tanks. I am surprised one died but the only thing I can figure is the netting process was rough on it.
