Clown Loaches are built to feed from the tank bottom. Try anything that is small and sinks. Flake food and other freeze dried foods that don't make it to the bottom won't be eaten.

Wont bloodworms float at the top?

Try frozen bloodworms. Defrost them in a cup n pour into tank

give them a couple days, then try shrimp pellets. Just a couple to start out with.. work other foods such as bloodworms, cucumber slices, lettuce, brine shrimp, and chopped up earthworms in as they get older and more voracious.

Sinking pellets, and algae wafers are also favorite of loaches of all ages.
