Hi, I got a Hillstream Loach about a week ago and I have no way to tell if he's eating or not. I unfortunately cleaned my tank not long before getting him so the algae in there is limited. I tried giving algae wafers but the tetras and danios steal it before he has a chance to get any. I also tried putting zucchini in, but I never saw him touch it and he seemed to stay where he already was in the tank for the 24 hours it was in there.
Today I put some daphnia in, but he stayed on the glass and didn't appear to be trying to get any. Is he supposed to swim after it or would he just gobble the pieces that float in front of him on the glass? How do I tell if he's getting any?
I'm just worried that he's not getting enough food.
Any suggestions?
