I think I might just be paranoid but my loaches might be sick.
Against my better judgement I picked up two clowns from a crowded bare bottom tank from my LFS. (Soon to get some more from somewhere else if I can figure this out)
The larger one seems to have faded colours, a very slight white haze over its whole body with what seems to be a red patch near its tail on both sides and rapid gill movement.
The smaller one seems better but has a very faded tail and reddish brown gills.
They are both swimming and eating normally as far as I can tell.
Is this cause for concern?
Tank parameters
28 degrees c
Ph 7
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 15ppm
Fishes are with a black ghost knife as well so if its an infection or something then he would be susceptible too as this is also a scaleless fish and I don't want to lose my knife.
Thanks in advance
