Some Loaches are more nocturnal than others, so evening feeding is better; the other fish will not be stealing their food.
Other Loaches are quite happy to come out during the day and compete very well for food.
Baby fish of any species ought to be fed a lot more often than adults.
I feed my fish twice a day, but skip one day per week.
All my tanks are well planted, so even on fast days they can eat algae and other things in the tanks. The tanks with fry (Guppies, Endlers) have so many plants the fry can eat microorganisms and such in between regular meals, as well as on fast days.
I tend to drop wafers and pellets into the tanks in the evenings so Loaches, Cats and other nocturnal bottom feeders can work on them.
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.
Happy fish keeping!
