This is gross, sorry, but is it normal for Otto's to poop constantly? I just brought home 3 ottos a couple days ago, and it is a neverending hobby of thiers. Are they all like this? Or should I call the world record people and show them a pic of my fish poop? Maybe I could be famous....:)

Thanks for your replies! I'm glad they are healthy & normal. I just need to get used to seeing all those "strings' everywhere. How often do you suggest cleaning? I wouldn't normally clean it more than once a week, but after 3 days I feel like I need to clean up after the little buggers. (30 gal/6 long finned danios & 3 ottos)
