Really worried about my weather loach!

Post by emily » Mon May 28, 2007 3:22 pm

One of my weather loaches is shedding his skin and just has a small amount to go near his tail ,but he looks quite red where the shed and the unshed areas meet.Also he has become quite lethargic today and is just letting himself float around near the top of the tank.He will swim off normally if i put my hand in,but soon goes back to floating again. Ive had him for 2 years and up until now hes been pefectly fine.Can someone please help as im really worried. Thankyou Emily

Hi Emily,

Please could you post your current water parameters - ammonia, nitrIte, nitrAte and pH. Also how often do you carry out water changes and what sort of % do you change?

Any other fish affected?
