I know, don't know what else I could have done for it, just sucks to see. I like to think I take good care of my fish but those kinds of inevitable situations are unpleasant. I guess I shouldn't have bought it to begin with but I didn't want to leave one loach all by itself at the LFS no matter how crappy it looked.

That's EXACTLY what happened with us. They had 6 zebra loaches left, so we got all 6, even though one looked bad. At least he had a good home for a little while I think

Eggy's fish and tanks
Brochis are looking even better today...think I'm in the clear for first stage QT but leaving them for another week or two
My angelfish was acting weird, hovering in a corner. Turns out the loach died and he's been guarding it all evening how sad and strange
Edit: loach is not dead, but can barely move and angelfish is protecting him

Is that normal? I mean usually this guy is winging all over the tank. He strayed to snag a piece of food and went right back over there. I mean it's likely the other loaches would brutalize the poor thing...but guardian angelfish? Never heard that before

I would also agree that it is delphax, the markings aren't dark, but they are there.

Sini - been doing some research. Seems like a lot of loach keepers incorporate levamisole into preventative treatments to stave off chronic wasting syndrome. If symptoms become present the next suggestion is prazi and or metro. Just an FYI if you didn't know

Thanks for the tip! I've had the best results treating with prazi so that's typically my first step. Until the past few years I haven't been able to get levamisole because I couldn't order things online, whereas I could find prazi and metro in stores...

I can't usually find prazi but it is a cornerstone of my QT so I snag that and the API General cure whenever I see it. Wild caught cories usually come in with stupid amounts of flukes ime

Awesome thanks Brooks let me know what I owe you.
Any harm in feeding as a preventative? I assume no but just figured I would ask.
