Just when you think you are in the clear...

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!

Was the new tank warmer?

Very sorry for your loss. I always hate losing an oto. They can be sensitive, but some of the most rewarding fish.

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.
