Otocinclus is algae eating fish. Very effective. I think your tank is going through the new tank syndrome and its not fully cycled yet. Continue changing water every 2 - 3 days and test your water to make sure NO2 is zero before adding the Otos or Yamato shrimps. Do add liquid bacteria after water change if you have them.

If the plants are doing well, and if the bioload isn't excessive, and if you haven't been too lazy (not keeping up with tank maintenance), with the help of a couple of Otos the problem shouldn't come back again.
