Here's my poor little oto. He is a good boy and also has ich. I have him in quarantine and have been dosing paraguard and salt separately.
It's been 2 days since his quarantine and I'm worried he may starve. The temp is at 84 and increasing to 90 over 4 days
Any other suggestions for treating the little guy?
What is the name of this fish? Ive don't think ive seem a fish like that before ?

OP clearly states the fish's name is Oto

If he was well fed before getting sick, he can weeks without food.

Otocinclus, Oto for short.

Have you tried giving him a slice of cucumber?
I had one of my Otos just randomly die last week, it was very strange.

>go to the store and buy a big bag of frozen broccoli

>store these in separate ziploc bag in freezer for future use
>take the biggest one and slice it length wize into wafers
>boil these until soft enough to easily poke through with a fork
>take out of boiling water and allow to cool down

>feed the others to the rest of the fish
You can also feed him shelled peas that you boiled in water.
