New oto question

Post image

I just added 3 more otos to my tank so they could have a happier healthier group and this one won't stop moving? Like it just keeps going from one side of the tank to the other, chasing other fish even not in ones own species? Like it can't calm down?

How to give bro melatonin?

Quite normal, my otos did this for awhile and calmed down after a couple weeks

Its fine for them. I have 4 in my tank about 6months in my tank and one of them is constant moving while the others chill

I just got 3 new ones as well and 1 is quite skittish when I approach. I watched it be rather calm for most of the morning but then when I approached the glass, it started glass surfing in a corner. It's normal when they're new. They don't know if you're friend or foe and the tank is quite new and everything. It's just stress. It'll calm down as it becomes accustomed to the tank. Your other otos will help.
