FATTEN THEM UP !

Recommended Posts

How could I fatten up / increase growth of my clown loaches without overfeeding or poisoning the water?

Is there a prefered food of theirs that they could eat on a more regular basis to assist in growth.

I have 3 large 4" smallest and 7" largest, they normally eat Nutrafin Sinking Food Tabs and a bit of algae flakes and other flake food.

I thought of frozen food but I dont know what type, also thought of buying snails as I know they love these.

Any sugestions?

Does any of this uneaten food pose a risk of making the water go off?

Yes, but as long as you dont get carried away with the feeding the loaches and pleco will clean up any leftovers before it rots and pollutes the water.

Cheers

I guess I would under feed if anything at the moment, all food is gone in around 3 to 5 minutes.

What I realy want is to have these 3 loaches grow but at the same time to be healthy and not to polute their environment, I would realize if I was overfeeding.
