erie,mi
okay i have 2 cat fish and a clown loach. here is the problem now, i moved fish and tank about a month or so ago from my x's house, now when i moved them here they havn't been eatting as much flake food. so i just switched there food up a little bit,after some research found out that they will eat blood worms and brine shrimp. so bought bouth tried feeding them the blood warms freeze dried food, but they shrug it off like it's not float at the top of the tank waiting for them to eat it or anything. so they havn't ate the blood warms yet or anything.

cat fish are either 2 irridecent sharks or the one is a colmbian shark cause the one i bought i knew it was ID. where as the other one has a completely different bodys and colors, i was told it was a ID by the person that gave it to me, but after seeing a picture of a colmbian, i think thats what it is.
 
Soak the bloodworms in water or tuna oil for a little bit, then introduce a little into the tank at a time and see if that helps.

It depends it theyre sinking pellets or not, what soaking them for a little bit does is change the texture....tuna oil and fish oil give them the flavor.
 
Hope they are eating again! If not, you can't go wrong with frozen brine shrimp. Put the frozen tab in a cup with aquarium water to let it thaw and then dump a little in the tank at a time. My loaches smell it after a couple of seconds and come out to gorge.

Let me know how its going.

Don't suggest the cucumber for finicky loaches
