 | Think my oto is dying :( |
katieb Fish Addict Posts: 697 Votes: 69 Registered: 03-Jul-2004   | I have 2 otos, but one seems to not be doing well. His breathing is quicker and he lays on his side. He swims a few inches and then lands on his side. My other oto is active and quick. I dont have water parems now, its late and i cant find my test kits.

Also, do you have any Melafix ? Lying on it's side is not a good sign but maybe the above would help, if any of your water change actions stress the fish then stop.. Maybe turn the lights off too.

| Veteric Big Fish Posts: 376 Kudos: 549 Votes: 7 Registered: 19-Apr-2004 | Also sorry to hear about it, otto's have that unfortunate reputation of dieing easily, especialy during the first couple of weeks. |
