Loaches are HUNGRY!!!

[JakeH]

What kind of Loaches do you have & how many?
What do you feed your Loaches & what is their feeding schedule?
What is their favorite food (other than bloodworm)?

I'm interested to see how many different ways we all feed our LoachMobs.
I'll go first:
4x Botia Kobutai (Angelicus Botia)
Schedule: Monday thru Friday
Breakfast- HBH Sinking Cichlid Pellets & Hikari Freeze-dried Bloodworms
Lunch- Omega One Veggie Rounds & Omega One Sinking Shrimp Pellets
Dinner- HBH Sinking Cichlid Pellets & Frozen Spirulina Brine Shrimp
Friday Night- Frozen Bloodworms for dessert
Sat & Sun- No Feedings (office tank)
Soon they will be getting fresh snails & ghost shrimp from my feeder tank.
Favorite: Hikari Freeze-dried Brine Shrimp. They float, so the little guys just click away at the surface until they're all gone.

I don't have a schedule, but I feed mussels,, Hikari Carnivore, Omega One flakes, veggies, bloodworms, Sera Viformo, and cichlid pellets.

 

[JakeH]

What is Sera Viformo? I still cant get my crew to eat veggies! They like the veggie wafers, though.
Edit: No shrimp in their diet? Is it not good for them?

My clowns get two sizes of NLS pellets, shrimp pellets, algae wafers, bottom feeder wafers, frozen blood worms, brine shrimp and krill, and veggies like romaine, zucchini and cucumber.

Anyone feed them live snails or fry?

 

[*Alex*]

yep i used to feed mine MTS until they ran out! They love playin around with the shells

 

[JakeH]

I didnt know they could handle MTS. I assumed if my GSP couldnt break the shell, the Loaches couldnt either... Not a problem, huh?

You can find canned snails at your grocery store.........between mussels, snails and shrimp my CL's are definitely packing it on...

They dont break the MTS shell.... they just suck em right out of the shell.
