Hi, used to feed the clowns Hikari wafers and Fishscience shrimp treats, but now they donā€™t seem to be that interested in them at all, they will eventually eat them but not as eagerly as they have done. I know they must be get fed up of eating the same stuff all the time, and have given them bloodworm once, but cannot get hold of them very easily. What other decent food can anyone recommend? thanksā€¦.
 
They are largely carnivorous but will appreciate being fed with vegetable matter such as cucumber, melon and blanched spinach along with frozen bloodworms [these no more than once a week], shrimps, dried foods of which one of the best is Bug Bites, live earthworms. Omega One Shrimp Pellets are highly nutritional.

Several aquarists have mentioned that loaches will sometimes eat live plants, with swords (Echinodorus sp) being particular favourites; signs of this will be several small holes eaten in the leaves. Other plant species (crypts, Aponogeton, Anubias, Java Fern) are left alone. Mature clown loaches are well know as plant nibblers.
