Loaches Online Forum

I introducted a new Clown loach last week he was about 2 1/2inch and he must of had ich/white spot as my whole tank then came down with it . I could cope with the diease with fish medicine, But the worst thing was that a few days later(2) all five of my Clown Loach were no longer with us 1 was 5", 3 were 4 1/2" and the other 1 was 2 1/2". some other fish (Tiger Barbs, Yo-Yo loach) died too, but my catfish are still alive and still looking healthly.

It was a really sad day no i've got to try and get the tank back to normal again before i put any more fish back in.

Sorry to hear that, Dave. This is the sort of situation where a quarantine tank would have been useful for your new addition.

Thanks Emma, I'm going to setup one up now because i cant handle no more deaths. i've learnt from my mistakes the hard way, but now i know that a Q tank would be best for and the fish.

Sad news. Yeah, q-tanks are worth their weight in fish when they head off stuff like this...
Sorry to hear it.
