...food, brine shrimp or bloodworms? I'm worried my bottom feeders aren't getting enough food but also afraid of overfeeding.
I have a small spot tailed spiny eel who won't touch frozen brine shrimp even when there's a big clump beside him, and was wondering if he'll eat mosquito larve?

My glass catfish doesn't want to touch flake food and seems to only eat mosquito larve, or brine shrimp if he's quick enough to beat the other fish (he rarely is)

Are khuli loaches algae eaters?
 
Khuli's are scavengers, they prefer meaty foods and generally won't touch algae. They'll munch sinking pellet/flake as well as any live/frozen foods.

If your fish won't take frozen try live. You can always target feed them with a pipette if they're missing out. Most omnivorous fish will not say no to mosquito larvae either. Try live larvae or bloodworm (from a clean source of course!)
