Zebra Loaches

[BINKSY]

Hi,

I got my 3 zebra loaches 2 days ago, and they are great fish, but i have not seen them eat yet, i have some sinking pellets for them, should these go in after lights out, i am a little worried they are not eating, by the way they are swimming away happily and look healthy


Any suggestions many thanks

Probably, nothing to worry about, but there is also nothing wrong with offering them frozen bloodworms---this is what loaches like.

I wouldn't worry the majority of Loaches are nocturnal so they would be more active at night. Also they have been there for only 2 days they would be still settling in perhaps place a Algae wafer around them and leave the lights off and leave the room come back after a little while and check to see if the wafer is munched on. My loaches love algae wafers

Thanx for the info guys, also my tank seems to have fewer snails too today, so guess these guys are having a feast on them

which is great news
