One of my original YoYo Loaches doesn't seem to be growing very much - if at all. I know it's one of my originals because I can tell them apart by markings and other features. One has really reddish colored barbels, one is missing an eye (I've named him Uno), and the other is a lighter colored fish, and then there's Tiny - the one who isn't growing! All of the other Loaches were larger when I first got them so that helps to tell them apart.
'Tiny' has been eating all along and is very active as are the others. The only difference is that the others are now chunkier as YoYos should be (or so I've read). Do you know why he may be staying smaller? Is it a defect or something? I've had him for several months and I haven't added new fish in months. I don't think it's a disease that was carried in as none of the other fish were effected.
Here are a couple of photos.
This is a side view (don't mind the streaks on the glass).

Here is a fluke shot of all 4 of my YoYos together. It's not a great quality shot, but it gives you an idea of the size differences. 'Tiny' is to the right.
