Snagged this one out of todays shipment. One of the many perks, cherry picking the stock. It's in quarantine with the other oddball I just got.

Depends on the situation. This one is small, so I'll Q it for two weeks. If it's a larger one that looks healthy, I'll add it to the mix right away. The biggest concerns are Ich and internal parasites. Ich is easy to cure and easy to spot. Parasites are usually a small loach problem, and I don't buy many. Most of them don't get quarantined, unless there is a reason to do so. The fact that they fare poorly individually is a factor.
 
And heres your challenge of the week worm...

Just how many clown loaches do you have exactly? :D heehee...
 
haha and again another oddball, lucky you!
I've been looking around for months, and have only come across one so far at the stores, a saddleback, but it was dead :(
 
Nice grab wurm! :)

You're making me want to keep loaches again. I've seen two double saddle oddbar loaches over the week and now I'm tempted to go swoop them up this weekend. :D

When I swap out substrate, I'll have to net them out. I'll get a count then.
