baby clown loaches help....

[alison73]

hi, i have just purchased 2 baby clown loaches from LFS. They looked absolutly fine when i bought them but when i rested them(in the bag) on top of the water i noticed they were covered in spots..now i know white spot wouldnt come on that quick, im hoping it isnt,could it be just down to stress?

I have never had good luck with small loaches. Clown's get ich really easy and they are hard to treat.

They had ich when you purchased them, you should have returned them(hopefully you did), before releasing them. Bill

if not you and you didnt qt them the whole tank has ich and you need to treat it.
