Loaches love veggies too!

Your loaches will enjoy zucchini and cucumber, mine do!

I'll have to start doing that.

I put zucchini in for my royal pleco sometimes and a few of my loaches will usually eat some. They seem to click a lot when there is zucchini in the tank.

I put it in for the Plecs too, but the loaches chow.

my clown loaches tear up any zucchini that i throw in the tank... just a note... it has been rumored that the cucumber seeds are too hard for must fish to digest and could possibly cause them to perish

The seeds on the cucumber are too big for any of my loaches. They end up in the filter.

Boil the zucchini for 1 minute it softens then so they sink better and peas are a feast for them too, make sure they are unsalted peas though. I wish I could find some other species of loaces here in Texas.

They have to be available. You aren't looking in the right place.

I tried all the lfs's around, online is too much for shipping, I even checked my bumper and grill on my truck, nothing!

You looked for loach roadkill on your truck? Loaches don't cross major highways often.
