Depending on what I am feeding mine, they will come up to the top for a minute to feed until it starts to settle on the bottom of the tank. Some of my bigger ones don't seem to ever leave the bottom though.

Most of my loaches take flakes from the top.

all four of my Clown Loaches fight for food at the surface. they used to hide when i have them in the malwai tank but after putting them in the 150 tang tank, they swim out in the open and come to the surface for food. my tangs swim out in the open so the loaches feel safer and do not hide
