I haven't been having very good luck keeping Otocinclus cats alive for the first couple of weeks after purchase. My planted tank is stable, and has plenty of soft algae for them, but of the last batch of 7 I bought about 1.5 weeks ago, I'm down to 2 (the rest have died).
I'm guessing that the batch I bought were probably wild caught, likely using cyanide and that may be why they perished. Are there any local fish stores that sell captive bred otos? Anyone know where I might get some that aren't wild caught?
