Clown Loach Diet and Feeding Schedule

Wild clown loaches prey on invertebrates like snails. They thrive on an omnivorous and nutritious diet in the wild.

Give them algae wafers and shrimp pellets. You can treat them with live and frozen foods like bloodworms, shrimp, and earthworms a few times a week. You can feed them twice a day in small quantities. The fish will also eat any leftover meals from other tank inhabitants.

The loaches are bottom feeders, and they should be given sinking food especially if there are other fish in the aquarium. You can provide the occasional vegetable like zucchini and shelled peas.
