This is just plain weird. Recently I noticed that the diatoms on my tank's plastic sides had almost completely disappeared. What could have caused this? Note: I have one guppy and one otto. Could the otto have eaten all those diatoms in the time of a few days??

Yes, the otto could have done it. Also, increases in the amount of light, current, etc could cause the diatoms to disappear from that one spot...

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.
