Hi, I have a number of clown loaches in a 55 gallon with a couple other fish. They're juveniles and probably only an inch and a half currently, but will be moved later on. My other clowns seem totally fine, but one of them I haven't been able to find for a few days. He came out today and was super skinny with trouble righting himself. I assume he just hasn't been able to get food before the other fish and dropping pellets and food on him cause the other fish to crowd him to get at the food, which I assume is stressing him more. I have a breeder box- should I put him in there and attempt to feed him that way or would that be worse? Just long enough to get him to eat if I can do that.
Update: I saw him again and now he's on his side with his spine arched, which I suppose was the original issue. I suppose there's nothing that can be done for him at this point, correct?
