Sorry its been a while since the last video, hope you all enjoy this one!

With Otocinclus' you should always pick ones that are clearly moving around and eating off surfaces. As you could see the one I got wasn't. Apparently, Otos are susceptible to the process of transportation to the fish shop, as they need to feed almost constantly to keep their gut bacteria healthy. It was the last one at the store so chances weren't great but I had no idea that Otocinclus' could be quite fragile as I've seen them used in a lot of tanks. In the US they are quite cheap and common but compared to here in Australia, they are quite expensive and perhaps a longer transportation process is required. Later on I would end up getting another 4, this time keeping them in a tank with lots of algae, however 3 would die over the next couple of weeks and the 4th after a few months. Maybe I've just gotten unlucky with them.

In regards to the medications and treatment I used for the Neons, I actually found the treatment method from Cookies Fishroom:    • Cookie’s Fishroom Episode 9 Columnaris  
I would definitely recommend people to check him out and his treatment recommendations for various aquarium diseases. Note that he recommends using an Antibiotic in tandem with the sulphate based medication and aquarium salt for the best chance of success, however, I didn't have any antibiotics and just used an anti-bacterial i had lying around. I would also note that after treating the tank for ~2 months, it didnt seem to make any difference but the neons didnt seem to get worse either.

Thanks again everyone for the 140 subs, I'll aim to upload more regularly!
