Loaches Online Forum

One of my 6 loaches has become skinny lately. He is less active then others and doesn't eat much. (all loaches are ca 7 cm long)

Two weeks ago some tiger barbs from the same tank had part of their tails missing and I suspected fin rot and treated them with antibacterial liquid.

Now I don't know if I should treat the skinny loach for internal parasites or bacterial disease?

What about the other loaches? Should I leave them untreated until some signs appear? They are fat and active at the moment!

Hi, Avee
What kind of Loaches do you have?
How long have you had them?

it can be a combination of both..

I suggest that you treat for both..
