Just picked up 2 tiny little guys about .5" what is a good way to power feed them for max growth. Which foods are the best to get this and what sort of growth rates can I expect.

Not much you can do to make loaches grow quickly, but the healthiest thing you can do is keep up with large weekly water changes. Much better than over feeding
 
I only got two for now as only went to get some lizard food. And with the spare cash I had picked em up will grab a couple more soon. There in with my pleco grow outs at the moment, will be like watchin paint dry watching these guys grow haha.

I would really get atleast 3 more. And .5 inches? That is tiny!

Clowns do best in larger groups, and if they have a lot if places to hide.

I have around 14 clowns. From 2-3 inches all the way up to 8 inches. I feed mine sinking shrimp sticks, frozen blood worms, brine shrimp, flakes. Occasionally blanched zucchini and cucumber but they only eat a little bit of it.

New life spectrum Thera a is supposedly the best out right now. It has garlic in it i believe, which helps with parasites. Some clown loaches get the skinnies, in which you will have to deworm them.

These are the smallest I've seen I have a small group of larger clowns 6-8" just hard to find big ones in the uk with out spending big bucks. So thought id try some little guys.
