I noticed today that there is a little chunk taken out of Barneys tail today. It wasn't like that a couple days ago, so I think maybe RJ bit him for some reason. It's not too bad, but I want to know if maracyn 2 would be safe to use on him. I know certain meds arent safe with Oto's because of their sensitivity, so I want to make sure I know what meds are safe for them. Thanks for the help. Natalie

Hey Natalie, from what i can find Otos are ok with Maracyn-2. But your plan of keeping the water clean and using vitamins outta help his tail regrow and it's always good if you can skip the meds. That and putting a Flinstones DVD in for him to watch all day.

Someone help me-- is it ok to use aquarium salt with ottos?

COBettaCouple

no, i'd definitely not use aquarium salt with any kind of cats.

genie

oops! I guess I'll be off to do a quick water change. Spike is gonna hate me!

COBettaCouple

It's ok, he'll forgive you for a couple bloodworms.

griffin

kinda off topic, but do otos eat bloodworms?

COBettaCouple

good question. i've never tried to feed ours bloodworms, corys would but i'd be curious to see if otos would.
