I have 3 clown loaches in my 150 along with 30 african cichlids, a yoyo loach, peacock eel, 4 catfish, 3 bettas and a bala shark. EVERYBODY is fat and healthy except this one loach. he eats and eats and eats but wont gain weight. I watch my fish when they eat and this one doesnt hold back. My other two CLs are fat and deep orange, this little guys orange is still pale. ive had him for at least 2-3 months. He was like this when i bought him but i figured he was just malnurished. Ive also noticed hes not as great a swimmer as the other two. the others dart around quickly while he just kinda glides around slowly. When they others are full they lie on the rocks or the driftwood while this guy is constantly grazing on the filter intakes, between the rocks and anywhere else he can find edibles. Ive been feeding: blodworms, oyster meat, cucumber, green seaweed, and a mix of flack food and cichlid pellets. Internal parasites? of so whats the best treatment?
