Thanks Alistair. They've been in the big tank for a week with the other loaches and he's really enjoying it. He's still paler, skinnier and smaller by a tail than his buddy I bought together with him, but he's constantly foraging for food and is very active and lively.
I've decided to dose them with flubendazole(Kusuri wormer plus) to cover round worms too plus a range of other stuff prazi doesn't treat. I should receive it in the post in the next couple of days and some of my older loaches including a few years old kuhli loaches, also recent additions barbs and SAEs have never been de-wormed, so it won't harm to do the lot at once....once in 5 or so years
Fingers crossed something will eventually work but that's my last option. I already fed the small loach hex-shield at the very start I bought them which contains metro and epsom salts...so out of ideas after this.
