Hi all,
I have had a lot of trouble keeping otocinclus alive in my high-tech planted tank. There is plenty for them to eat, and I cannot see of any particular reason why they always seem to get sick and die.
The fish appear healthy in all other respects (they have full bellies, gills not particularly red).
Is it Co2 toxicity? My other fish (tetras, barbs, cory) don't seem bothered in the slightest by the Co2. But do the Otos have a lower tolerance for Co2 than these other fish?
Cheers.
