	gold-belly Ottos
djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	No, unfortunately, this is not a new strain of catfish. It was the gory sight that I met after walking in from school today. All 4 of my new ottos, dead. But most intriguing of all was that their bellies were a greenish-gold color. Anyone have any ideas why?

Maybe you where feeding them alot of green matter rich foods?. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
