What size tank, is it cycled, and what else is in the tank?

 

[pocket22]

15 Gal Aqueon, Cycled, with 1 balloon belly molly, 7 zebra danios, two guppies, and 2 platys.

The guppies were in my 2 gal but i had fry so put fry in 2 gal and moved guppies to 15gal

I would imagine he's hiding, there's nothing in there that would've attacked him.

How did you acclimate him to the tank? Otos are extremely sensitive.

30mins. Ur right, there hard to keep alive. He was upside down at the bottom yesterday, but breathing.

I lost three otos in a 40g for three months.


They are surprisingly good at hiding. They're not really jumpers either, so it's unlikely he flew the coup.

If he was upside down, he most likely did not last long. I'm sure the other fish consumed him.

"30 minutes" tells me how long you acclimated him, but HOW did you acclimate him?
