Hello,
I was wondering if you'd be able to help me.
A year ago I bought three Clown Loaches. They're in a 125l tank (yeah, I know it's not big enough - they told me they'd be fine in the shop).
They were a bit over an inch when I bought them, and now two of them are a good 2.5 inches long. But one of them hasn't grown at all. He's not really skinny like you see some that have worms, he's just small (although the others are actively a bit fat, and he's not). His behaviour is the same as the others.
I treated him with an over the counter worming med about six months ago (obviously they grow slowly so I waited to see whether he had started growing) but she's still the same size as when I got him.
Presumably if it was worms he wouldn't have lasted a year, would he? Could he just be a naturally small one or have got stunted before I got him?
Cheers
