Food choice for Clown Loach

[Erik Soballe]

Hey,

So I have two clown loaches, they have effectively taken care of my snail
problem. But I don't have many snails at all left in my tank. I've been
trying to feed them sinking shrimp pellets, but they don't touch them more
than just one nibble. The other fish get em before they do. Any
suggestions on a food choice that would be more palatable?

I use a mixture of brine shrimp (Hikari) for their breakfast, and finish the
day off with blood worms (sparingly, since their pretty fatening). Cheers,
Brian

My loaches go bananas for frozen brine shrimp, frozen bloodworms, sinking
carnivore pellets (Hikari), algae wafers, pretty much anything they can
put their little barbels on. :)
Other folks feed them zuchini and other vegetables.

Mine eat everything, which annoys the smaller fish.

They like flake, they love bloodworm (lots of loud clicking),
they eat algae wafers, cucumber and catfish pellets, and they
also keep the tank snail free.

I'd say they like flake, bloodworm and cucumber the most.
