How To Fatten A Loach

[Mr Pleco]

Ok I just bought this guy a week ago have yet to measure him, but in between 7-10". The pic is below. He is a great looking fish and is very active. But man is he skinny. My question is how do I fatted this guy up?

 

[davo]

feed him lots is my suggestion. experiment with foods that he might like, bloodworms, sinking pellets, whatever. then just feed him lots of his favourite

 

[DeLgAdO]

just feed alots often

simple, just dont over feed

 

[FishHeadSoup]

nice find! how much did he set you back?

feed him plenty of live worms and he will fatten up quick!

My guys eat flake, frozen blood worms, and market shrimp.

He was orginal 80, but I talked the guy down to 50
He really does not like shrimp. But pellets is his thing. But could he survive off pellets alone.

 

[FishHeadSoup]

good deal....he should be fine off pellets, just make sure its good quality like hikari

 

[Mr.Geoff]

ee if it will eat snails too. that makes em real fat quick
