How many shrimp pellets would you feed 2 weather loaches a day? I am asking because I think I might have been overfeeding them. Thanks

You should feed your fish no more than they can eat in two or three minutes. If there is any left over food on the substrate, then you are overfeeding your fish.

Since I don't have experience with weather loaches I can't give you an exact amount. But, bottom feeders generally need more than the usual 2-3 minutes to finish their food. I have 6 cories and 1 otto. I feed them once a day, with an amount they can finish in about 10-15 minutes. I also do not feed them one day a week.
