Feeding - bottom feeders

Together with other fish, I have:
3 x Corydoras Virginiae
6 Bronze Catfish
6 Khuli Loaches
2 x Gold Nugget Pl*co's
4 x Clown Loaches

I drop 3 x Tetra-Tabimin in the aquarium each night after lights out.

Is this enough food? Any comments are most welcome.

TIA - Dave

I seriously doubt it. How big are your clowns?

Depends on how much you feed the other fish. Doesn't hurt to add more
and see if it's there in the morning, though.

The other fish are well fed - variety of flake and frozen food three times
per week.

Three times per week? You're supposed to feed daily, I feed twice a day
and once for the bottom feeders. Sounds like you're starving all your fish!

Maybe that's "variety of flake *comma* AND frozen 3 times a week". It's
all in how you read it ;~)

In regards to the original question: If being fed flake food daily, then
yes, it should be enough. Stay up one night with a dim light and watch
them eat. Then check their bellies for signs of being full, and check
their colour, disposition and activity levels.

Ahhh... yes, that would make sense. FWIW, I feed a mix of sinking foods
daily for my bottom feeders, including algae wafers, sinking wafers, and
shrimp pellets. I have several albino ancistrus, 7 clown loaches (from 2
to 5"), 3 yoyo loaches, 2 botia striata, 2 "angelicus" loaches, 5 or 6
cories and a bunch of kuhli loaches.
