Hey my name is chris.I'm brand new to this site and i love it crazy sauce!!!
Anyhoo been working frantically with my loach leonard.
First of all.I bought him not fully understanding his needs.I had a loach before and he was about 4 inches long(so about a juvenile)and he was fantastic!Didn't know at the time that they were meant to be kept in larger groups.But he did fine.
Now leonard, being the last loach left at the shop i took him with out choice.When he was assimilated and swimming around i noticed something quite disturbing.He had no gill covers,was sickly pale,i could seee his spine and had ich.I picked a winner folks.A real champion!
Well took care of his ich problem to the displeasure of my wonderful and now lackluster Horn wort.Got a second loach of similar size(yes still not enough but here in this town shipments are hard to come by.Store is gettin a shipment in a week).
As for the skinny paleness and lack of gill covers i don't know what to do.I have had him for about a month he barely eats and is nowhere near as active as his new friend. Let me know what you think i don't want my little buddy to die.
