Clown Loaches won't eat Top Fin shrimp pellets??

I ruined my 4 year old 20 gallon tank I think (Big hairy Algae problem)
Haven't been paying attention to the tank enough. My 3" clowns don't
seem to like the aformentioned FFood. (Granules de Crevette?) There
is a picture of a clown on the label, so I don't get it. Assuming the hairy
algae appeared this spring because of "overfeeding" I'd like to ask you
folks..

1) Has anyone else noticed clown loaches disdain for this type of FF?

2) Is there any good URL's to help me get rid of this green hair?

PS) I did give away my ordinary 31/2" pleco about the same time and
replaced it with a 3/4" dancing pleco- was the big one eating all the hair??

Appreciate replies! Aloha!

I feed them color bits normally with bloodworms once a week, but my
Island has no bits lately and the only food I have is Hartz flakes and
pleco pellets. I want my Color Bits back! Guess I'd better order my own
thru
the Inet postman.
