What do you feed Yo-yo loach?

[swanandmokashi]

What all do you feed these guys ?
Do they eat flakes ?

I feed them brine shrimp and they seem to relish it so far. But I have heard brine shrimp is too fatty and needs to be used as a treat. So what is their staple diet ?

I believe they'll eat anything that gets to the bottom of the tank. They should eat flakes.

Here's a link to a profile on the Yo-Yo Loach that I wrote for Aquarium Advice. I contains some of my personal experiences with this fish along with a list of the foods that I use. Hopefully it will be helpful.

The greedy little guys will go right to the top of the tank to get at whatever food you put in for them. The only time I ever see them eat something on the bottom is when I toss in a sinking wafer/pellet or when I see them rooting through the gravel.

sinking wafers, like Hikari or Ocean Nutrition brand. Something more than just a sinking algae tab.
