Help.!

hi,
please can i get some advice about my sick clown loach. he has a white covering over his entire body. all i can say is that it looks like spiderweb or like when your skin peels when you have sun burn. i am treating him with tetra medica general tonic and i have done a 50% water change. any other ideas would be great.
thanks

well sadly clown loaches are prone to whitespot and ick, did you do full or half dosage?
i lost mine last week to the same thing

i followed the instructions on the bottle. turned the water green though. and so far no other fish seem to be affected.

i have had no experience with that med so i am afraid i can't help you there, what else do you have in the tank and do they have it?

 

[WILDER]

Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate, and ph.
Are the clown flickings and rubbing.

I read online that they're prone to ick if they don't get bloodworms or something like it in their diet...
This is for when yours is doing better and I hope that is SOON! I feed mine bloodworms everyday and so far so good...
Hope things get better for yours!!
