I know I am probably over-reacting, but my loach looks like he is really pale. I have noticed this before and now he seems like he might be even paler than before - or maybe I am just being paranoid since my tank is now recovering from columnaris.
so, I have lost 3 rainbows, a fourth just died in my QT tank but that might have been because he was too stressed in my little 2.5 gallon QT tank (I am getting a 14 gallon this week)
here is a pic of my polka dot loach. he looks paler than the other guys I have - still seems to be acting normal. any clues? is it possible that all the others are boys and this is a girl? maybe a dominance thing? I know the more dominate ones are more colorful.
here is a pic of the pale one and another of a different guy so hopefully you can get an idea of the color difference
