i have 4 clown loaches in my tank and I guess my they are eating my plants,
iv read that they dont eat plants but they are in my aquarium,what should i do?

Should i feed them more? i feed them flakes food and some pellets sometimes.

They are only eating plants with broad leaves.
Here is a picture of the clown loaches and the plants on which they are making a lot of holes and eating.

Clown loaches will eat some plants, swords are especially tasty. I feed mine romaine & zucchini 2-3 times a week, it helps. But as they grow they tend to eat more plants or dig them up. Java fern & anubias are safer plants but big clowns are said to destroy those too.

I add snails to my tank and have piles of empty snail shells I also sometimes feed brine shimp pellets or algae wafers.
