Shrinking Loaches?

[EdWoods]

Hi,
Can clown loaches shrink?
I could swear one of mine is. Maybe all the other fish are just getting bigger, but I feel sure it looks like it's shrinking.

hi
there is a disease that loaches are prone to commonly called 'skinny disease' where they waste away so this could be what your loach has unfortunately (think its hard to treat) if you do a search in the forum using the key words 'clown loach skinny' you'll find several older posts with members with similar sounding problems. id also try posting your post under the crypinids,characins & atherinids forum ( on the main page of the forums scroll down a little bit from the beginners section where your post is) as thats where all the loach lovers lurk & you should be able to get more help there
good luck
