My 2 clowns have lost there vibrant black and orange colour and become dull, they also have some blue looking lines on them?

Are they okay?

I can try and get better photos using camera if necessary

It can and will happen from time to time. Mine would do it in times of stress. I always just changed the tank water and changed there diet to frozen foods for a little while and color would always return. I wouldn't worry about it.

Ok thanks, I am due a water change tomorrow so will do it today :)

Yes water change should help. Clown loaches that start to dull usually means poor water quality. What size thank and what kind of filtration are you using?

It's 4 foot tank about 200ltrs and currently using an internal Fluval u4 while cycling a external filter with a UV steriliser, water parameters are the same as usual
