Is my loach clowning around?

[margetaylo]

My loach has been in my tank for 4 days, thriving and getting used to the other fish. Today I noticed it looks like one of them has a broken/crooked tail. It has been floating around the tank, looking like its trying to swim. At one point I thought it was dead. I don't want to get rid of it if it's just clowning around, which I don't think it is. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks, Marjorie

Uh. Doesn't sound good.

Pic? Water parameters? Tank info?

from the word "clowning" im guessing its a clown loach. Perhaps a photo and a accurate description can help us out.
