si_sphinx Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Ive noticed my CL not acting normal. It sits out in the open with no energy and not acting very clown loachy. It is in a tank with other loaches,CAE,synos and all others are fine and feeding as per normal. I have had it for a few years now and is 8cm long. Has been in my partners tank for the last 4-5 months and she told me it was acting weird so it brought it back home a few weeks ago to see what was wrong and has now started showing these symptoms. It: -is getting skinny around its head area -has red marks on its side like blood vessels. -has white lines along its lateral line that kind of stick out a little bit. -is breathing very quickly. I do WCs every Sunday and I added some salt yesterday and uped the temp to 29deg. What else should I do and does anyone know what it could be? I have levamisole incase it is worms and I have whitespot cure, melafix, primamix for anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Looks fungal, melafix and salt , from memory, had a similar problem with one clown, I put it in a hospital tank by itself added salt and a fungicide, at only half strength as clowns dont have scales and are sensative to meds. Keep the water real clean. sombody with more recent experence may shed a little more light on the treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
