Just got Clown loach

[G_Sharky]

So should i just feed them brine shrip and veggy as a treat, and feed them catfish pellets daily? the lady in my LFS says it's a good idea to feed them frozen or live food everyday.

I don't know about that to be honest. I give mine frozen live stuff every once in a while (they got tubifex today). I wouldn't agree that they should be fed live food daily. I do not even feed my fish daily, every other day instead.

I can't speak for everyone obviously but I give mine catfish pellets every other day when I feed all the fish and I also put about 3 plec tablets around the tank for everyone, which they like too. Mine also like algae wafers and I can hear them 'biting' them!
