I’ve Lost My Otocinclus

I’ve had my Oto for 4 days. He’s been darting arnd the tank and his little belly had been round and full. I thought he was doing good. But when I got home today he is just gone. I’ve looked everywhere, I’ve moved around decor....he’s just vanished. What on earth happened?!

 

In/on the filter? There's a good chance you just missed him since theyre so small and hard to track

Yep. He showed back up just now. . It was weird not to see him, since he’s been moving nonstop for the last four days.

 

Do you only have one?

I do only have one. I know they like others of their kind, but my tank is already at it's stocking limit. And he seems happy enough, darting to and fro sucking on all the Amazon Swords.

It's been quite sometime that you have posted this but I wanted to ask you that how is your oto now? I have just heard that they don't do quite good when kept single or in 2-3 numbers. I hope yours is good.
