We have 3 yo-yo loaches in our 63 litre tank with 15 other fish/bottom feeders. We have noticed of late that one of the yo-yo's is always sleeping (looks dead until you try fish them out),not eating and the and other 2 yo-yo's seem to be playing togehter, leaving the other one solo. The other two yo-yo's have also doubled in size "weight" and seem to eat everything in sight. We have even tried to feed the solo yo-yo by itself, but to no avail. Water conditions are perfect and we do weekly water changes. Furthermore, the sick fish shows no visible sign of disease and has very distinct colouring in comparisson to the other two (the black strip is particularly black, compared to the other two). While we have a lot of fish in the tank for a 63 litre we don't have any issues with fighting and they are all getting on well. All fish are young and small.

Why is this yo-yo loach behaving as such and why is it so small in comparisson to the other two when we purchased them all at the same time and all were within similar sizing and weight?
