I'm posting this here as many planted tanks have Ottos.

I notice that my Ottos get bloated. Have you observed this with yours?

Thanks

I was told that's how you tell a healthy otto, by the pot belly. Pot belly;
healthy, well fed otto.

Only when there's a lot of algae in the tank for them to eat. The otos in
my
moderate-light tank are kind of skinny, because there's hardly any algae
in
there. In my high-light tank, the otos tend to look like they've
swallowed
little marbles or something.

Yes. I suspect it is related to their work ethic

They're naturally chubby if given enough algae to eat.
