they may have been pretty...

but they were not very bright My zebra otos all killed themselves!!...in thier ferver to rid my tank of all algae they all individually wedged themselves underneath my bubblewand and suffocated...they did it one at a time...every couple days i'd come home to another dead, stuck oto <sigh> I didn't really realize that THAT was killing them until the third one died, and i realaized he was actually wedged. I think I may stick with the common oto...its a little easier on the pocket book to have a $2 fish kill itself than a $15 one

 

[phOOey]

man that sucks, $15 dollars a fish! how many did you lose, just the three?

still thats $45 gone

 

[twoluvcats]

Sorry to hear that

Sorry to hear about that. It always sucks when you loose fish, but it sucks even more when they are expensive fish!

 

[Fish Friend]

how come some fish are cheap, and some are dear ? because some fish are just the same size as others but more expensive !! ?is it to do with the shippping ?

I can't figure out why zebra otos are $15 a a piece and zebra danios are $0.99 a piece wither Fish Friend.

A $45 loss is painful to be sure, but when starting out with fish I used to keep a detailed log of all fish bought and all fish died, and for the first year or so I was at about a 40% fatality rate, so that was WAY more than $45. It just hurts like hell when you lose all that much at once, I know.

I would really like to get some zebra otos anyway...
