Question
Hi.I used to have two loches in my 40G aquarium.Ever since one of them died from ICH....the other one is been hiding for most if the day!Its been now...3 months and i have upgraded to a 75G aquarium. He is still hiding and he lost alot of weight!!I am planning to get him some company since he is a schooling fish....but do you think thats his problem??

Answer
Hi Dr. Dimitris,

  I do not think that lack of a companion is the problem. Are you doing regular weekly partial water changes? You should be changing 25% of his water once a week, every week.
