Pale spots on my clown loach. Any ideas ?

Post by JIMMY51 » Thu May 29, 2008 2:12 pm

I have just come back after being away for 3 days and one of my 6 clown loach has developed pale, almost white spots. They did have whitespot about 6 months ago, but this is not the same. It also seems quite lathargic. Any ideas as to what it could be?[img][img]http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn24 ... _0184a.jpg[/img][/img]

I can't see the image at the moment but have you looked at this thread and the links that Mick the Fish and others have provided?

So many species of fish yet so little time, space and money to keep them all...

This is the 4th time I've seen this now. My guess is that it's a physiological problem of some sort.
