If it was breathing heavy, then worry.

i had a smaller clown and it was doing the same thing. he didnt stop doing it and about two days later he died

Powerhead to increase the airation, slowly discontinue use of salt. I unfortuneately killed several loaches before slowly getting the salt out of my tank. It is not necessary to have healthy fish. My Shoal right now sits at 36 CL's, and they share a 220G tank with several other fish, I will see some of them laying around pretty much all the time. When I (or whoever is freaking out) approach the tank, we get a look from said lazibones and he then darts back into the group. If your loach is not being responsive then I add my vote to those above, you need to worry.

I notice the ops not got back to us. Hope he's okay.

Fish died that same night. Really sucked!

 

[SteveR]

hm that's odd have you figured out the Cause of death?

 

[888fish]

Absolutely no idea! Had him for 2 yrs, didn't a single fish death during that time. Worst thing, it was a super thick, tall, with an extra oddball spot on each side. Maybe it died of obestity?

 

[SteveR]

Doubtful I've seen alot of fat clowns, have a few myself that are at least 10 years i'd say nearer 15.
