I have a 2 inch clown loach. Ive had it for about 2 months now and hasnt grown much. I have been feeding small sinking pellets i was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on what would be good to feed for max growth. Thanks
 
Hikari Sinking Wafers or a NLS community mix. Have you only got a single loach? They are happier in groups and will be a lot more active and imo active fish grow faster.
 
Get them in groups, lots of hiding areas,current and vary their diet. I have 13 of them ranging in sizes but they eat market shrimp, cucumber, zucchini, Hikari algae discs, Hikari flake, peas, squash and bloodworms. Mine are all happy.
 
Try nls pellets. If he's not eating much, you could always try feeding them live blackworms. Loaches go crazy for those.

I would buy more clown loaches too. If you only have one, its not good because they like to form schools and juat having one means he'll always be stressed, especially if he's a small one.
