Here is one of my large Clown Loaches enjoying a good feed on a piece of tomato. Two hrs later the loaches had moved it 18ins still held to flat rock. All they had left was just the outside skin.

No comments. No one likes my Clown Loach and his strenght in moving the rock and his tomato.

I think it's pretty cool

The Amazon Nut...

Yeah very cool pic. I also have Clown Loaches, but at this stage they don't seem to like their vegies.

Hi Keith,

Surely tomato makes a right mess in the tank ??? Do you use un-ripened one. I'm just think a lot of juice and seed flying around. Is it really messy? Is just the loach or do the others like the tomato also ?

BTW, hate to break it you, but that doesn't look like a Clown Loach to me ! Bears a distinct resemblance to the Loch Ness Monster :%)He's huge ! Hope that's a lo-cal tomato

After seeing some of Keith's tomato pics a while back I started feeding it in my 29g. I don't find it messy at all. I remove the seeds and attach it to a rock. My loaches, platies, and gouramis all love it.

Hmmm... if it's really not that messy I might give it a try. The fish go nuts for any kind of veg I've tried, they much prefer it to flake or bloodworms. Variety in the diet is always a good thing.

Your fish eat better than some people Keith
Great close up shot as usual Keith

I prefer the tomato to be ripe but firm. I also cut a small piece of the bottom so that it will sit better on the flat rock. I have said it in several posts I once found a tomato seed in my old internal filter which had germinated and I know it had only been there a week.

There is another photo there of them eating pear they love that.

The Loch Ness Monster is in Scotland not Aussieland we only have sharks, and stingers.

I think it's a kick in the butt!!! Didn't know yet another veggie that can go in the tank and now know what to do w/all the extras in the garden. Hope my emeralds love them too. Toooooo cute Keith!
