not a problem. they come from habitats that vary from relatively still to relatively fast moving water, although nothing like the flows hillstream loaches need.

Ghost Shrimp and Blood Worms are their favorite foods of all. Your shrimp probaly lasted 2 seconds with the loaches.

ROFL...so true. If I had known at the time that the shrimp would have been eaten, I would have put them in one at a time, and watched the loaches have a meal. But I know better now :D

All the fish I have LOVE the freeze dried blood worms I give them. I did get a little worried today as the fish were eating the bloodworms as they hit the floated on the water. One of the Clowns was surfacing for a mouth full of worms, and almost got one of the neons today....will have to keep an eye on that. Maybe it is a coincidence...maybe not
