Food for Chinese high fin loach

[Stingraysales]

I recently was able to purchase a 24" Chinese high fin loach for my outdoor pond. With weather getting warmer I need to feed him better does not seem to be enough natural food what would they eat at this size so I can put some weight back on? also have smaller ones 12". Also have koi in there so they tend to eat any pellets fast before he can get to them.

are you looking for specific type natives to feed it? you might do better if you don't post this in the Temperate and North American Native Fish forum.

High fins ARE a cold water fish you know.
Op, koi pellets work fine IME. Just get the food in front of him during feeding. Chopped greens works to.

i would think any larger sinking pellet would give him a chane to eat while the koi feed on the surface
