My clown loach initially showed signs of overeating and bloat. Started 3 days ago. Overate bloodworms. Now it seems it is in a lot of pain. Not swimming and curling it's body around. Seems to shake when moving. Even popping it's face barbs out which looks like pain reaction. I fed some peas on day 2 but not sure if it ate. Belly has gone down a little but still seems in pain. Still showing color but slight grey in black area. Performed water changeImages every other day. Water parameters good. Ammonia:0, Nitrites 0, nitrates under 10ppm. Temp 26C.
Tank is 40 gallon, heavily planted withwood. Tank been set up for 3 years so well cycled. All other fish okay. Might put in qurantine tank tonight. Is it constipation or worse?

Re: HELP! Sick clown loach.
I wonder whether clown loaches are really sensitive toward overeating. From what I read about breeding them, they need an awfull lot of food in order to come into mating season. So much that we would say overeating.
Still, your fish is much smaller, so it does not have to prepare eggs.
Personally I never feed bloodworms, as many of them, in Europe, can contain adverse chemicals in their body. It is not unthinkable youor fish ate too much, and got therefore too much of those chemicals in its body.
What can you do in that case? You can only wait. In case of constipation, that is also the only thing you can do
