or the clowns!

Should I be looking for some other food to keep the Loaches happy, or will
they find what they need from the tank floor?

I am new to this so many thanks for your patience!

I wonder about those quiet little feeders as well, though with a
different mix. I have a pleco and African dwarf frogs in with two
goldfish. I feed a varied diet including goldfish flakes, shrimp
pellets, tubifex cubes, bloodworms, peas and algae discs (not all at
once of course). Those goldfish eat everything in site. I have tried
hiding some of the food and the goldfish have injured themselves
squeezing into places I thought were goldfish proof. The only way I
have managed around the problem is feeding the tank every two days
with quite a bit of food and throwing it all over the place in the
hopes that the others will find a quiet bite. Even so, I bet the
goldfish are overfed, though when I changed to this method I have
noted the obvious "overfed goldfish" symptoms ended. However, I am
sure there must be a better method. Anyone?
