SICK LOACH

[tlf22054]

We are new at loach keeping. We have had 2 since January '06. Recently, one of them appears to be losing weight, it is very small, almost anorexic looking. All of the other fish are healthy looking and the water tests are fine. Any suggestions as to what could be wrong with the little guy?

Hello and welcome

To help you we need a bit more info.
What type loaches?
What size tank, and what inhabitants?
What are your water parameters, pH, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, temp?
More info on what you observe wrong about the fish. Is it eating and still skinny? Normal color? Breathing normally? Any spots, lines, redness? Do you see any parasites either on the fish, or in the tank?
Do you change the water? How much? How often?

And anything else you think would be helpful, please post so we can help you.
