	talk about a feeding frenzy!
simpkia Hobbyist Posts: 114 Kudos: 93 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-May-2004	I currently have 2 medium size clown loaches and two considerably smaller ones. The two big ones appear to be getting all the food and its making me a little bit concerned for the other two. I'm hoping that there are scraps or something that the other two leave behind and that the smaller ones get that but im not sure. Any suggestions?

I also feed four small Hikari Algae Wafers which I break up into small pieces every day. By doing that there is always plenty for all. Also 1/4 teaspoon of a sinking food every day, as well as 1/4 teaspoon of flake food everyb day.

Spread your food around, and make sure you drop some where you know the little ones will get it. Even if the big ones still manage to hog all the food, you could try dropping a piece of fruit or vegetable in the tank every once in a while. The larger loaches can't possibly hog all of it. Good luck with your problem! And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
