New food that loaches love
I'm not normally that big a fan of Hagen's Nutrafin range, but these new Shrimp & Krill Pellets are a big hit with all of my loaches:
The clowns in particular go mad for them (they react as they do with Hikari Sinking Carnivore pellets). My smaller loaches also enjoy them, including my Sewellia. Worth giving them a go if you see them in a local shop.

Thanks Emma I will try some of those.
I posted last night about the shrimp wafers that the hillies go wild for: http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?p=156467#156467 and today my mate who sells all the Ruto food gave me two slabs of frozen gammarus shrimp and the loaches love it, they are whole shrimp of varying sizes so there is food fit for all sizes of loach. Ruto have only just started doing them in these smaller 100g slabs and they to be a hit with my fish

Thanks for the tip on the food. I find my loaches do like shrimp pellets, though these I have not tried. Unlike my other fish who seem to prefer the flake and frozen, the loaches do seem to get tired of the same food. I try to give them a variety of flake, pellet, freeze dried, fresh and frozen food, but it seems after they have had a food a few times, they lose their excitement about eating it. The two new Schistura are still in quarantine, but they are fun to watch eat. They are so fast that if I drop a pellet, it will hardly hit the water before they are on it. It seems the novelty has not worn off with them yet.

As far as I'm aware, it's available in the shops now, priced around £5.99 for a 110g pot. It's a brand new product, which might account for the lack of info on the web at the moment. We have it in stock, if you are able to get to the loach meeting next Fri.LeStat wrote:Thanks Emma, do you know when/where they will be available?
