I have an endli too. Yours seem fine. Mine pretty much stays at the bottom with very little movement. From my experience this is normal.

Hope this helps,
Chris
is not the same, i have 11 endlicheri in my tank about 50g, and this both looks very different when they swiming and to take a breath..

do they act this way when they are in your big tank, cuz i think its normal that they swim weird when they are in a small bucket of water.

I really don't know what it could be but they don't really look paralyzed since at least the one can curl and uncurl.. I've only had paralyzed weather loaches (electric cat shocked) but they just literally couldn't move their back half but otherwise acted pretty normal. After a few weeks it seemed like the swelling went down and the one's tail started to move again like maybe the swelling caused the paralysis. Then he was eaten so I don't know if he'd have gotten any better..
Anyway, do the look swollen anywhere? Maybe it's pinched nerves or just discomfort. Possibly an internal parasite since 2 got it?
