Loaches Online Forum

I have read that if all you feed your clow loaches is bloodworms it cam make them sick?? Why is that? what else should i feed my clown loaches???

Almost ALL loaches love bloodworms. Like anything though, you don't want to overdo it. Give them variety in their diet. Read the Feeding section here:

Thanks martin, \

besideds the bloodworms what else do they really like?

Read the link, Buzzy. It'll tell ya.

thanks

I have two YoYos that don't seem to like bloodworms. I have frozen cubes of bloodworms and i try feeding it to them once every week or two, but they just swim over, around, and into the worms, but rarely eat them.

On bloodworm day, i feed the tank a little bit of flakes in the morning, or nothing at all, then nothing for the rest of the day until about a half hour after lights out (still ambient lights from elsewhere). the loaches come out and just swim around.

any thoughts on this?

Im not sure. Does any 1 know anything about what tosto is talking about? any help?

All my loaches (clowns, khulis, marble) love blood worms. About the only thing they love more is the live California blac worms they get!!!

I've got the freeze-dried bloodworms and they're very popular, but they float on top of the water and I don't think my kuhlis ever get any. Should I soak them or something before I feed them?

soak the bloodworms in some tank water for a while before adding them to your tank, works for me. usually have to do it for several hours though
