Feed them pellet food that drops to the bottom. I use bio blend, algae tablets or shrimp tablets for mine. They love them.

feed the kuhlis just before the ights go out. i have them and they'll eat blood worms, but i use a turkey baster type thing to push them toward the bottom while other food for the other fish is in the tank. if you just put that the faster moving fish will get it before the kuhlis. i love them and hope to get more soon.

live and frozen foods (bloodworm, daphnia, brine shrimp, black/white mosquito larvae etc etc) sink, and loaches love them. Algae wafers and blanched shelled small peas (well squashed!) go down well as well.
