my clown loaches losing weight they eat great but are getting really skinny
 
Sounds like they are getting less food than you think, or they have something like internal parasites.
 
How much are you physically seeing them eat and what type of food?
 
Wardley advanced perfect protein
 
 
was tetramin flakes
yeah they eat like crazy
 
Ill feed more
 
Avoid feeding more, as you will add unnecessary ammonia to your tank. Instead, examine their feces. Is it stringy and sort of white or clear? If so, then you've probably got parasites. Go ahead and pick up from your LFS some medicine for internal parasites. I've never had to deal with this, so I'm not sure of what brand to suggest. However, continue to feed your normal amount, watch any other fish in the tank, and make sure that they eat everything you drop.
