th3f0rg0t3n Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 have you tried to net anything out of the tank ? or possibly moved any of the ornaments in the tank around ??? usually i would recommend a trip to the physiotherapist but perhaps in this case its a clove oil scenario... IF THINGS DONT IMPROVE, doesn't look good though mate, kinda looks hungry too, perhaps some bloodworms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oromis Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I'll try to gently transfer it to a breeders net/box so it gets a chance to eat the blood worm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oromis Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 The loach is already starting to look better with lots of food. But unfortunately the tank is having its first whitespot/ich/whateveritis outbreak :\ Hopefully it survives the ordeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
