That *is* cute. Weird question - is it an effect of the picture that his caudal looks funny, or does he like Nemo have a "lucky fin"?

Nice picture! How long did your otto stay like that?



And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

He stayed like that approx 10 minutes..
I couldn't believe it ! I was glad it wasn't the skittish oto or it woulda took off at the first flash of the camera. It's fins are in perfect shape it was just the way he was positoned at the time making it look like that
I thought it was pretty cute too, almost like it's waiting at the counter for an algaeburger to be made for it.
I was lucky to get such a nice clear pic and it stayed there while I turned the macrofocus on

That's really cute, Dafishman! Otos have a funny way of using their fins to hang on to things.

I saw an oto in my LFS that looked like he was standing straight up! The tip of is tail was on a rock and the end of this nose was just barely resting on a plant leaf. They're funny little guys :%)
