I got a Tiger Otocinclus yesterday. He swims all over the tank sucking on the glass but he never seems to go where the algae is. I can see a dark brown algae growing on the rocks on the bottom and on one of my decorative rocks but all he wants to do is suck on the side of the glass where there are no signs of algae. I tried giving him an algae wafer but I don't know how to even let him know there is one there. The algae wafer just floated to the bottom of the tank and he has no idea it is sitting there on the bottom. I clipped a slice of zuccuni onto the side of the glass but he ignores that also. Any ideas? Is he getting alage that I just can't see on the side of the glass? How do you let an algae eater know that you have an algae wafer for him to eat? He never even looks at the bottom of the tank, just sticks to the sides.
