For the past three days, I've only been able to count 8 of my 9 otos. I know there are tons of places one could hide away, so I need to stop standing at the tank and obsessively counting them. :screwy:
But it's driving me nuts! I always get to #8 and then can't find the last one!
I just hope he's ok.

LOL! Don't worry, he's there. I have seven in one tank and I can never find #7!! I did find it earlier tonite tho. They are small, stealth and easy to miss.

I couldn't keep track of my otos... Until I had to move. I found them all as I tore down the tank. They're in there someplace. :)

Count the bristlenoses is a fun pasttime in my household. It was easier when the tank had all adults, but even then, they managed to hide behind heaters, filters and sword plants...so I can't imagine playing "count the otos". I did that for a while when I had three...it was a very, very hard game, even in a 10g.
