Khuli loach potential disease. Help!

[Firedashflame]

 Hi, I got 4 khuli loaches about a week ago. When I got them, I noticed one was a little pale but thought it was just stress. A few days later though, it started gasping and then laying on its side. This morning I woke up to it being dead. Now another one is starting to have the same symptoms. Any help?

A little more information would be helpful what are your water parameters ammonia nitrite nitrate pH etc any loss of appetite lethargy can you post a picture of the sick fish if possible @Firedashflame

 For the appetite I've been feeding algae wafers. A few of them seem to be eating but my neon tetras are nipping them when they get close to the wafers. I've tried dispersing small pieces around the tank but now I haven't seen many of them eating. I'm planning on getting frozen bloodworms in the future. I have a long day tomorrow, so I'll get to the parameters and photo tomorrow. Thanks.

Never mind. Sadly, another one died today and on top of that one ended up in my filter and got severely injured. I decided to kill the injured one and the remaining one with clove oil as having Khuli Loaches won't work for my tank. May they rest in peace.

Wouldn't kill the one not showing any symptoms I would do a course of kanaplex just in case there's a bacterial component and you can put filter sponge on your intake pipe to prevent them getting into your filter
