What to Feed a Clown Loach

[Deep Blue Sea]

what can I feed my 3 6" clown loaches? I tried sinking pellets and algae wafers but they just pass them up, I plan on trying cucumber tomorrow

If there new they may take a few days to eat.Bloodworms are hard to resist.

Let them settle in their new surroundings for a few days. They won't starve, that's how they got to 6 inches. Entice them with HIKARI carnivore sinking pellets, which my clown loaches go absolute nuts for and then feed them a variety of foods.

As stated above if they are new to your tank it may take a few days to adjust. Bloodworms either fresh or frozen are really hard to resist. I feed mine a mixture of flakes, sinking wafers, Emerald entree frozen veggie mix, Frozen frenzy (lots of meaty foods), Frozen bloodworms, and cucumber slices. Not all at once mind you, but I keep a variety in the diet, just like I try to do my own. And every now and again they get a really special treat of a coule of snails. REALLY fun to watch em go after the snails!!

try soaking the food in garlic they won't be able to resist.

My clowns eat bananas, cucumbers, bloodworms, flakes, brine shrimp, snails, and swordtail fry when I'm not looking. They have also eaten one eye out of 3 of my other fish.

go with worms to get them started while acclimating to your tank, like frozen bloodworms
