Hello to everyone-
I've been haunting this site for a while now trying to sop up knowledge and get my loach fix without buying fistfuls. I just got 6 Yasuhikotakia sidthimunki on the 9th, and have had a Acantopsis choirorhynchus for several months. On to my questions--
The new sidthimunki were lost by the USPS for a day, and so in the box for 48 hours. They arrived thin. They seem to be accepting microworms and chopped freeze-dried tubifex to a degree, but still have flat bellies. Is there anything in particular I should try?
Thinness aside, I wonder also if I should treat these fish for internal parasites; they came from Frank's Aquarium but they were pretty newly in and likely not fully treated there. I do have some Levamisole here if treatment is recommended and that medication is appropriate.
Lastly, I hear faint clicks from the 55 where the horseface is, and now I hear clicks in the quarantine tank where the chain loaches are. Do either/both of these species click, or should I study my impellers?
Thank you in advance.
Hello, and a few (very) beginner questions

Partial answer:
Frank's policy is to treat all loaches with Levamisole and administers the 1st round of treatment the day they arrive. While I'd normally use Levamisole on all incoming fish, I now exempt Frank's. Still: Levimisole is certainly appropriate and safe, so no harm if you repeat the treatment. Nearly certainly, no use either.
