I don't know if my 3 clown loaches are eating. They're very active throughout the day. All they do is go up and down against the wall but whenever I feed my tank, I never see them eat. I think they smell it though because whenever I do drop food in there, they move away from the wall and seems like they search with smell but never get food. I make sure my other fish are well fed and then against the wall, I'd sink the flake food to where they are but they don't touch it. So I figured maybe they don't eat flakes. So I bought some sinking shrimp pellets and they don't eat those either. I bought shrimp pellets because my friend's clown loaches eat them pretty well. What is their most favorite food? My LFS told me bloodworms but I wanna stay away from those. I just want pellets or flakes. Maybe they eat when the lights are out?

By any chance, would they eat garden worms that you find under rocks in your backyard?
