How prone to ick are clown loaches?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
In my experience clown loaches *always* get ich when moved, doesn't matter from where to where, they just get it within a couple of days. It's easy to handle the ich tho, because you know when they're gonna get it. Just add salt, about a pound per 50-60 gallons and they'll be cured within 2 days. I've never lost a cl to ich, it's just a matter of monitoring them after changes in their enviroment, and look for early signs of ich (scratching comes before the spots), and adding salt asap. Problem solved.

btw I've kept at least 30 clown loaches through the years, so I'm not just talking out of my ass, I have experience with this :)
