I have four small loaches, the largest about three inches, he started laying om his side this afternoon and breathing heavily, there are no visible signs of ick...water parameters are fine.

Can you please give some more information Becka?
Size of tank
fish in the tank
how long has it been set up
filtration?
water change schedule
Water temp, pH, ammonia/nitrite/nitrate readings?
And any other observations you can mention. Behavior changes? Anything new added to the tank? How are the other fish acting?
It helps to give the most info you can...
