Random picture (b. histrionica)
There are 3 of these guys in with the Clowns. This guy is clearly the runt of the litter. He has no issue getting to the food, he is just growing slower than his 2 brothers
I think I may have already posted this one, but here's the 3 of them shortly after coming from the QT.

dude he's probably not grown cuz he has hte wasting disease. if you got htem when they were both the same size, and they both eat hte same amount, and they both get bloated bellies after they eat, then you can probably assume the skinny small one isnt getting his vitamins cuz something in his belleh is eating the food

While I do appreciate the concern, I don't think this guy has CWS. It's not that he looks skinny or emaciated, just smaller. Every time I've added multiple fish to a tank like this they grow at different rates.
Can loaches other than clowns develop CWS? Has anybody seen this in other fish?
I will try and get a top down picture of him, but these guys don't seem to be big fans of the camera.

Yes, B.Kubotai is very prone --IME-- and I lost one to CWS (specifically, to a tapeworm --- there is no such thing as CWS, really, it is a symptom of several diseases). I possibly will lose one more. Depending on the severity of the problem, you see only slower growth, or both no growth and loss of weight. B.Kubotai is of course a very closely related species.JonGuerriero wrote: Can loaches other than clowns develop CWS? Has anybody seen this in other fish?
I've had the same problem with baby Yoyo's: one out of four did not grow (with baby Yoyo's you see the problem very quickly). Rather than investigating it, I donated it back to the lfs in exchange for the promise that they will put it on anti-parasite meds.
This is not to say that your picture is conclusive about CWS; different rates of growth are certainly possible.

I'm still very curious why Pangio and Schisturas (all hillstreams?) seem
exempt.
