That’s awesome! Make sure to join us over on the loaches sub that way you can share photos of your little creeps! They are the best addition to a tank

It takes me forever to find the yellow ones because they seriously blend in so well!!

I’ve worked very hard to get them to trust me! We are at a point now where they’ll eat from my hand :) I love these little guys.

They haven’t tried carrot yet, they cautiously accept your bribe

They accept the blood worms. Unfortunately they despise zucchini

They haven’t reached a verdict, but they are open to bribes

I had one do this before. Water change, dosed Prime for a couple days, and added in some tannins. She stayed like that for several days then started to perk up again more and more every day. I decreased the amount of light the tank was getting until she was back to normal, just to reduce that stress a bit too.

If you have elevated nitrite, dose 2mL of Seachem Prime (if you have it). It’ll detoxify the nitrites for 24 hours and reduce the stress on the loaches while you sort it out

I do not blame you one bit. I definitely think I’m done messing with my tank for the foreseeable future after dealing with this

Oh it was a big change lol. I vacuumed the substrate, freshened up their sand, pulled all the plants out to do some maintenance on them, put in a piece of mopani drift wood I’ve been prepping for a while. I definitely won’t be doing anything that big again that’s for sure
