Those otos look okay... it's normal for them to stay still when newly introduced into an aquarium, once they get used to the water parameters and are comfortable in the new environment, they will start to graze actively.
If you are using Co2 injection, it'll be a good idea to skip injecting Co2 for one day, give the otos more time to acclimate. Subsequent days you could also go for progressive increases, ie quarter, half and then eventually full injection rate. That will greatly improve their chances of successful transition.
One of them is doing well, grazing over my tank walls at the back.
Nope, no CO2, i stopped using that Neo CO2 thingy. Didnt see any improve in my plants (especially my mc), so wont be refilling it. :P
Now potential issue is that i dun have big leaf-ed plants, thus might not have enough algae for it, unless it like GDA hmm
I guess eventually the other one will join in the grazing too.
You can put an algae wafer into a feeding dish and let them learn to graze on it. It may take the otos a while to discover its location and that it's actually food, but once they can take prepared food readily, you'll have no problem keeping them well fed.
Blanched sliced cucumber or zucchini is good too, those can be left in the tank for up to 48 hours which allows the otos lots of time to graze on it.
Thanks UA. Anyway, got a casualty this morning T_T. It was lying sideway on the substrate, touched it and it doesnt move.... haiz.... (the one that didnt move much last night)
Ya, the other happy sucking on my tank walls LOL. Even the part near the substrate as it zigzag-ed around (as if hit by electric shock) hahahaha. Finger crossed on it
Wondering today got stock?
Hmm.. GC has couple of it. Seem like their is quite big and healthy. But come with a steep price.
How much GC sell bro? Did you buy?
$18.00 quite steep price. But their OTO really look happy and healthy. I never get it, end up i get chocolate gourami instead.
Btw, i saw they feed them with tubflex worm, hmm..
GC macpherson?

Keeping : 2 tier 2ft tanks
Livestocks : Apistogramma Bitaeniata Mamuri, Apistogramma Mendezi, Apistogramma Baenschi Inka 50, Apistogramma Elizabethae, Apistogramma Diplotaenia
From the pics, looks like GC Machperson, backroom tank. Anyway, just for sharing, it's been close to 2 weeks and my surviving 2 Zebra Otos from C328 so far so good . And yes, I got a proper chiller just this Wed
Sorry bout the GSA on the glass. Outbreak occurred after I pulled out a section of my MC carpet to replace with dwarf hairgrass. My tank looks like crap right now, but at least there's enough algae to go around to keep them plus the shrimps happy

Bro how big is your tank. Wow which type of chiller u getting? Good amount of algae for your OTO. Actually my OTO love hikari mini algae wafer. You can try that ! By the way your Zebra oto really look good ! Oh yes, it is at machperson.
How many Chocolate gouramis you bought. How much? I am also looking for them to buy.
I have 10 male orange/blue striped guoramis in my main tank bought for $1 each. I like guoramis because they are very easy to feed. The male guoramis are hostile to one another but they are not serious about fighting like Bettas. But if they end up damaging more fins, I will have to stop keeping guoramis as I like peaceful fish.
