I have 10 otos arriving at the LFS tomorrow (hopefully), I first got 6 and 5
of them died the next morning. I'm told they are delicate. This post
actually is a "for-fun" post, but if there are any suggestions on helping
the new ones survive I'd appreciate.

pH 7.4 (hopefully going down with CO2 when it works)
Ammonia and Nitrites 0
NO3 15ppm
GH 5
KH 2
76-77 degrees F

Actually though, the story is about my oto. He is a trip. I have never
had otos before so I'm not sure about his behavior. He is VERY active,
swimming from spot to spot and eating a little algae as he goes. The funny
thing is that he obviously was lonely, so he took up with the zebra danios.
He chases them around! They pretty much ignore him. I wonder when the new
otos come in if he will continue to think he's a danio.

take care,

bob
