I've tried weighing them down onto the gravel twice, and let one float on the surface, but the otos just won't touch it. I don't think they know its food they can eat. Is there any way I can teach them to eat it? I don't think they are getting enough food as there isn't enough algae in the tank, and I don't think I want to try out algae pellets just yet. I heard otos actually love zuchini, so I'd like to let mine eat some.
How do I teach otos to eat zuchini?

Mine like zuchini and cucumbers. I take the skin off, cut it into chunks, and freeze it in a ziplock baggie. Every so often, maybe every 2 weeks or so, I'll toss one in the tank, always the same spot. Sometimes they eat it, sometimes they don't.
Do your otos have a round belly? If so, they are getting enough food and actually prefer to eat the slime that encourages algae growth, so it may seem that they are just sucking on the glass or deco items and getting nothnig to us. If they get hungry, they will try it.

Thanks for the answers by the way. They really helped and I was worrying if they'd die of starvation but I guess not
