Came home to my 7" Clown Loach lying on its side, breathing, slight twitching of caudal fin. NOT Swimming, like its paralyzed!
Temp: 80 degrees
SLIGHT ick issue with Datnoids, not affecting loaches so tank has about 1 TSP salt per 5 gallons of water for 6 days now.
Changed 60% of water last night, and placed in new salt to maintain concentration.
Remaining 5 large loaches seem just fine right now, as well as other fish. ICK seems to be clearing up to almost none.
The 7" loach looks healthy and fat, no ICK spots, but severe state of paralysis.
I am currently bumping the temp to 82 degrees.
Should I place it in a hospital tank? Did it crash itself into the tank and into a state of paralysis?
