Fat YoYo Loach.

[Le Fishê]

Well hello there, a week ago I bought 3 baby yo-yo loaches. They all seemed healthy except for one, in particular. This yo-yo loach is a bit fat and I have no idea why. I don't think it's pregnant because as I said they are quite young. (By the way, it came from the shop like this). I'll attach some pictures but they are not that good as he's a fast fella and also hides a lot.

Does that harm his life? Should I remove him and out him a qt so that a can feed him less?

Baby/ young fish should be fed as much as they can eat so they have the nutrition they need to develop and grow properly.

Never separate a group of loaches because you stuff up their pecking order and when you re-introduce the loach, it usually gets bashed.

I see, so being fat won't affect its health?
