I've run into some problems with my otos.
Specifically, they're no longer cleaning the algae from my tank.
I thought that my betta was harassing them, so I pulled him out for a day or two and let them have the run of the tank. No good. They stay in their back corner getting skinnier and skinnier, not wanting to eat the food I put in for them, letting the brown algae get out of hand.
Ammonia is 0, nitrites are 0. Temp is 80. Any ideas about what's going on?
Edit: Forgot to mention. About two weeks ago I gave them a small piece of blanched zucchini, and then after that was when I noticed that they didn't want to eat anymore. But I only saw one eating the zucchini. It may not be related, but I thought I'd mention it.
