Stunted clown loaches
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2017 8:41 am
I recently rehomed 2 clown loaches who have been kept in a max 3ft tank for 8 - 9 years and possibly underfed too from reports but cannot be sure. They appear to be healthy and proportionate but are less than 5" long including tails. They originally had 4 loaches but the others had died over the years.
I will slowly build up their food intake in the quarantine tank but I was wondering if there could be anything causing this other than environment or genetics such as an infection ?
I would hate to add them to my own shoal including a large 10 year old fish, and spread disease. But they do look healthy.
Has anyone had this issue before?
