That has not been my experience. I've found them to be very hardy,
even when first brought home.

You've been pretty lucky then, I'd say, but that's no surprise... You
seem to have a natural, um, fishy equivalent of a green thumb,
whatever that might be. I've seen lots and lots of posts about the
early deaths of new otos, as well as having it happen to me on two
occasions.
