i dont feed them, but i would be very careful. blackworms grow in areas where the water quality is very bad, which means there are also parasites there. you just have to get them from a reliable source.

Clowns-6 is a group and more is never too many, providing the aquarium is large enough.

I just gave my loaches a microwaved shrimp...

can you say havoc in the tank? They chased the little bits wherever they went in the current.

When I put a few bits in the tank below that contained my yoyos it became a clickfest and I soon saw several fatsos swimming about. Some of the girls that were already gravid became even fatter.

Your loaches should go berserk for live food.

Yeah, they do. I fed them some the other day and they really liked it. I was just wondering if anyone else did it and how often they did. I have some cories in the tank they need them, but I know the loaches are going to get them too.

My loaches go crazy over any food, so they really go crazy over the live blackworms.
