Well the kuhli loaches are now in the 55 tank. But I alternate food. Brine shrimp, frozen blood worms ( I have dried and frozen, I would think the frozen would be more nutritious (?)repashy, bug bites, pleco formula bug bites ( my zebra loach loves these) mini sinking algae wafers maybe no one is eating them (?) vibra bites - they were suggested but none of my fish seem to crazy about them. My tetra which I have about six varieties of between the two tanks I feed bug bite flakes, baby frozen brine shrimp, repashy, hikari micro pellets. I also feed the loaches and cats fresh cooked zucchini when I make it chopped fine - and they all love it. I had more algae type foods but they were for my otocinclus and they kept dying and I gave up on them. My 25 tank has just the little green cories, 4 X-ray tetra and 6 lemon tetra. My 55 gallon has the loaches, cories and three tetra varieties. It is a peaceful tank. If you have anymore food input am happy to hear it.

My 25 tank has these cute little green cories. My 55 tank has the regular white cories. For about 2 months I had just one zebra loach. And I couldn’t find any more in Denver. It just bonded with my cats and followed them everywhere.I worried and worried but I knew the biggest cat would chase it away if she wanted, she chases the smaller cats when she wants. When I finally found three more small zebra loaches the big loach didn’t want to have anything to do with them, but they followed her/him. Now the cats and the loaches all pretty much stick together. They are golden loaches and people told me they are aggressive but I don’t see it. I saw some Pygmy cories at the fish store and came home all set to start back up another tank, they were so cute. But got a little confused about the sand as a substrate. I have two 10 gallon tank empty right now. Had bettas don’t do well with those. I Ike the cats the best, so fun to watch.
