greying is also a sign of pecking order too in a large shoal. its a visual communication to state dominance amongst the group. angry clowns go very dark. some go dark due to other reasons . you have to watch them and study. ive got a solitary clown in one of my cichlid tanks. hes thriving in there and thinks its a cichlid now and competes for food in a way ive never seen before. starting to grow at an alarming rate. say an 1 inch per month.

i agree with this method for sure !@! it works and helps the others grow
I have to agree with the growth rates of the 2 seperate species of loach to vary quiet drasticly.
Sumatra loaches are alot more colorful. Tend to not "grey out" as much and will grow at a slow rate. Not very hard to identify either, The pectoral fin is red while the Borneo loach have a mainly black pectoral.
There is even a higher quality loach from Kalimantan that is stunning. Almost like the Samatra loach, but with redder coloration and a silver sheen. These guys are extremely rare.
Borneo loaches are a lot more abundant in the trade. Most what all lfs and big pet store chains carry. I think high protein and removing the dominant sounds like the best method ive read on here.

Another good read, starting to digg loaches, always have, just never gave them the TLC needed. Looking to grow 10-12 for my future tank.
