fat oto?

I have noticed in the past few days one of my otos has gotten a huge belly. it seriously looks like he has swallowed a small marble. what could this be? the other 3 otos in the tank look fine.

Just a big fat full tummy. Some of mine look just like that. Like they swallowed a pea or a mini beach ball

I was gonna say to hold off on the feedings for a few days but I see you have other otos. I still say they need to invent diet fish food, Low Fat...Low Cholesterol LOLOL fish food for fat/overweight/hefty fish.

I think they prefer the term "husky".

They like well fed, I'd cut back just a bit.

i am not feeding them at all they are just eating algea on the tank and plants

that may be a gravid oto

Otos look chubby after gorging on algae. If it does not go away after a while then possibly start worrying...
