I feed mine NLS Thera-A 1mm pellets once a day five days a week and frozen blood worms one day a week. All nice and chunky.

Question when you feed the shrimps do you chop it up or feed in about 4 mm cubes. I used to chop it up but the loaches are messy. The shrimp i put in the feeding station are getting out and the severums are getting overweight . I have started feeding in larger 4 mm cubes. Will have a separate loach tank just for them.
I'd skip the shrimp, really not needed. A high quality pellet as main, bloodworms or cut up earthworms for treats, occasionally some zucchini/cucumber. With zucchini/cucumber you'll want to cut the seeds out and you'll only want to do it as often as you can stand cleaning up the mess. Clowns will eat leafy greens like kale and spinach but the mess from it is extraordinary, although your severums would be grateful.
Guys another question. How long in minutes do you feed your clown loaches. I got 1 clown that is probably going to die. Tried to
get it to move and it didn't but still breathing . He is in a weakened state. Later I tried to feed the pack. The shrimp was ravaged. I think the pack was starved.

I am feeding the loaches for 15 minutes and they are still not finished. I am used to feeding severum and they are finished in 2 minutes. If I feed more, it would be overfeeding. But I feed veggies and they graze on it. On clown loach probably graze on pellets? But how long before you remove the pellets or shrimps? Thanks guys. I made a mistake and this is a learning curve. I hope I can learn from it.
