Lfs Clown Loaches

[dcarmor927]

My LFS has 5 clown loaches in stock, all of which have some amount of white spots on them, i'm assuming its ich...I am going to purchase 2 more clowns when my cycle is done, and this is the only place i can get them locally...should i get them and put em in a hospital tank right away and treat them or should i try and find an alternative way to get two more? I want to help the fish but i dont want em to die on me

i would leave them well alone, clown loaches can be very difficult to treat for whitespot, but thats my opinion, maybe wait till he has fresh stock,

i would leave them alone there is a LFS near me that always has a tank full of clown loaches with white spot best thing to do is get them from another place ifthey can order them in for you
