Should I add Medicine?

[Pazzoman]

Hey Everybody!

Recieve 6x clown loaches at 1 inch size thursday. They seemed to be in pretty bad shape as shipping was delayed, water was cold...however they have pulled thru except for one. The first night 3 of them were in my filter sock...one had perished howeer the other two are fine. All five of them are now constantly shoaling and eatting bloodworms and NLS baby grow formula pellets. Today I purchased 6x silver dollarsat around the same size. They seem to have responded better with the added tank mates towards food intake as well as time out swimming.

Well my question is, thier is one clown who is a little pale in color compared to the other clowns, however is eating great, foraging as usual and active. I notice he has a little grey area by his eye maybe a scrape? Possibly from being in the filter sock as I'm not sure. Should I add any medications or should I let it be?

As for medicine I have pimafix, melafix, prime (more of a conditioner however helps with slime coat, aquarium salt and that is all as Im not sure of all the clown safe meds are. Thier is a "safe meds" list for sting rays in thier section guessing it would be the same for loaches, right? Also will be getting the levi dewormer this thursday in the mail. Its a paste like medicine, I just mix it with the pellets and feed right?

Thanks soon will be adding a few 1-2 inch orange head geos.

Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrates-<10
Ph- <7

Feeding 3 times daily, nls pellets as well as blood worms will be getting lots of other foods this thursday in the mail.

Thanks!

All are continuing to eat well, always showing thier litttle bellies after a large meal. Tomorrow will be reciving all of the new foods cant wait!

This is what I ordered especially for the loaches and other possible bottom dwellers (eventually sting rays in an upgrade tank in some time in april....is one more inch possible for clown loaches at an inch size? I think so.

So far thier is five clown loaches, will take a better look at the clown where i think is little scraped, however good news his coloration is nice and dark instead of grey...all the clowns now have pitch black markings, so guess ing thier getting use to the environment.

I'm thinking about getting more clown loaches eighter at the live aquaria for the one inch sizes (probably shoudn't as I have already took a big risk) or get the 2-3 inch size ones at aquascape...eventually when they come in.

Thanks
