Hello,

I just added 3 clown loaches to my tank. Do I feed them during the day or are they nocturnal and I feed them at night?
 
day
 
day time they are little pigs when it comes to feeding but saying that they r gret at eating all the left over food from the big guys
 
Unless you have less than 3, they should come out. You're not supposed to keep them in less than 3 in number anyway. 5 is a better minimum.
 
Feed them during the day. With only 3 you might notice that they only come out at feeding time.

Anytime is a good time to feed them. I think that you'll find them to be quite the hog. They will eat whenever and whatever you throw in the tank without bias.
 
I have 7 6" loaches that religiously eat just after the light turns on @ 5:00am, they are already dancing out in the open beside the oscars when I wake up, they know I'm coming.
