If my Hillstream Loach doesn't have any algae to suck on, what shall I feed it?
 
If it didn't.
 
I suggest you find out what the Hillstream Loach eats, because they are NOT algae eaters (as I was told in a very specialized LFS in NJ).
 
Oh wait yeah, they aren't. But anyways what do they eat?
 
Their mouths are not sucker mouths, they seem to look as if they should eat other things.
 
they eat small insects, but mine love frozen blood worms and almost any prepared foods.
 
@ Andrink...

In another topic thread, you had said/posted some disturbing things about your plecos (basically it sounded to me like you were starving them to death), and your opening comment in this topic thread sounds about the same. It sounds like you are planning on doing the exact same thing, and these fish don't live on just algae alone. I suggest you either read up on these fish or ask a lot of questions at your LFS before you purchase any more. Don't just buy fish because they look nice.
