Gota new CL, oddbar?

Awesome loach. Definitely an odd patten, haven't seen that one before!

i got tired of you showing off your oddbars and spots so i got one for myself, now im just looking for a spot!

Yes, 85 degrees with salt. I know they can be fragile with meds so i stayed away completely.

No thats completely wrong- its the opposite way around. Salt is very bad for clown loaches, it puts a lot of strain on their osmotic process and internal organs like kidneys.

See the loaches.com article so see the best way for how to treat clown loaches for ich/whitespot;

"Dose the tank with Ich medication. DO NOT add salt despite the advice that is sometimes given. Generally speaking, loaches can't deal with salt and it ends up being a further stress on them."


Listen to necrocanis for why salt is bad for freshwater fish;

You will put your clown loach through a lot less stress by stopping the salt treatment and using a more loach-friendly anti-whitespot medicine.

Damn, that sucks. I was hoping you did. I have never seen one with a similar pattern as my "V" loach.

I've never seen any form of clown loaches at ANY LFS apart from the usual 3 bar CL. I would pay top dollar for anything different from the norm.
