I also lost 3 cloan loaches during the last 2days. Before they died, their mouth appear red n swollen. All 3 had the same symptoms

for mine, 2 had lots of slime coating on them , but they were dead,
the 3rd one looked like it had no slime coat.
so far I have 7 more , I've already treated with antibiotics. hope it works
i've had these loaches for about 5 years i think

thanks bro. My fishes diet is sinking pellets and occasionaly small frozen shrimps.
i've added 2 heater and also antibiotics.
not sure if it got too cold, and i transferred my arowanas from that tank into another tank.
so i removed 60% water and added it back once the aros are in the opther tank. might have allowed the temperature to drop too much?
