Things You'll Need
- Aquarium plants, with snails
- Live, frozen, and freeze-dried worms (available in pet shops)
- Vegetable tablet
Instructions
Add live aquarium plants "contaminated" with snails to the loach's tank. Clown loaches are known and loved for their taste for snails. Most pet shops will give you pest snails if you ask nicely.
Feed dry food. Only add as much food as the fish can eat in a minute or so as extra food will be ignored and rot.
Add other foods for variety. Older specimens can be more finicky and may refuse prepared (dry, flake) foods. Try using live or frozen worms. Apply the same rules as dry food.
Vacuum any leftover food out of the tank to prevent it from rotting and fouling the water.
