Hi mcbrix, have you read this? http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=2599

Weather loaches are subtropical fish and as such, require much cooler temps to the other loaches you have. Also, if the orange tail Botia are Yasuhikotakia modesta, they will become far too aggressive to be housed with more placid species such as clown loaches.

More information, such as tank size, how long the tank has been set up for, water parameters (ammonia, nitrIte, nitrAte, pH), your location (so that the relevant treatments can be recommended), if anything new has been added to the tank recently etc etc, will all help us to help your fish.

While Ich is a crisis, it is not worth shouting about. Text is a lot easier to read when it is properly punctuated, spaced and so on.
