new loaches not eating

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My 9" clown loach wouldn't eat for a long time, as I tried sinking pellets, shrimp, etc. I removed the driftwood and hiding places and it eventually ate frozen blood worms. Keep trying to bloodworms daily, or soak some in Kent garlic xtreme and then feed. This works, and is my method to get Datnoids to eventually take pellets.
 
I recieved 4 about 3 weeks ago. 2 under 2" and 2 around 3". The two smaller ones come out sometimes and eat once in awhile. The two larger ones don't come out. What I do is drop in a cube of blood worms before i turn off the lights and they'll eat it. Its driving me nuts never seeing them though
