Permanently Gray Clown Loach?

Have u done a water change since they started flashing? Mine flash closer to water change time, then they stop after.

That's an interesting theory. I saw them flashing yesterday (or the day before), and today is water change day.

I've just done the water change, so I kept an eye on the pack and saw at least two of them still flashing.

Have you tried the heat/salt treatment yet?

From the photo and your description of his behaviour he's got a bacterial problem. Treat with acriflavin...

I got my hands on some Acriflavine Hydrochloride B.P.C.
Is that the right stuff?

And if it is, what dosage should I be using and will it destroy my beneficial bacteria?

No. The loach in the picture died in the quarantine tank about a week after I seperated him. I hadn't started treating yet (because I was still trying to get my hands on the acriflavine). I guess maybe the stress of being away from the pack was too much for him
