Clown Loaches

[Eelzor]

Out of my 4 lovable clown loaches, they all act as if they are all happy and good and all, but one has something that looks like a cut under its eye. You know how you get those peelings of skin on the sides of your finger nails? something like that. Does anyone know what it is?

is he acting sick?
clown loaches have a spine under their eyes that flips out as a defense, could that be what your seeing?

Oh it must be! Because it's gone now!!! That worried me, thanks wuvmybetta!

No problem I'm glad he's well...and I'm a little jealous , I've seen pics of clowns doing that but I've never seen mine do it

wuvmybetta, I saw my other clown do it this time! The small blade like knife came from under his eye. I read on sites that this is extremely rare! I guess it's a bit of an honour for me. There is no way I can get a photo though because it is small and hard to get the clown loach in that position, although they're all still too good!
