Otos darting around

Hello,

I did my usual water change yesterday and my otos have been chasing each other all over the tank today! ammonia is 0 nitrite is - not sure on nitrate but it is a planted tank so I am guessing nitrates low (especially after a water change)

Tank has been setup around 3 months and is a 60l with just the 3 otos and the betta. The betta doesnt go near them so its not that.

Are they just playing?

I have an oto with my betta (they get along great too) and my oto has always done that same thing. Every few days, all of a sudden she gets a wild hair and flits all over the tank and then, just as suddenly, she stops and acts norma l- lol. I would guess they are just playing and being silly.

Hi Diggly,

I have one otto in my 20 gal w/some danios who acts just the same as iloveengl has described. Calm and content one second and then flitting around the next as if it's just not the right spot....
