If I listened to all the info about these fish and did as they said my poor fish would have starved. I have three in one of my tanks that are just over 14cm in length, two in another that are 10cm approx and one in another 6cm and the newist one is just 3cm in length.
I have found that while in theory they are perhaps able to last with no supplements added to the tank they do actually require additional algae flakes to supplement the diet as in a new tank there is not enough algae to sustain them and as they get bigger they also eat far more and at times will latch onto other fish if they are hungry which will kill the fish.
I only give one flake a day to a tank with 2 new young loaches in it and with the one with three big ones they get a complete flake broke up each feeding time. the best food that i have found that my loaches prefer is the tablets for plecs that pet stores sell. mine love them and i have found the big ones will happily eat one each per day while the small ones will eat half a day.
don't forget these fish can potentially get quite big
Sucker fish are the easiest to feed since you don't have to feed them anything. Actually sucker fish will eat any algae that is growing on the walls or structures of your tank. They will even eat algae off the plants. You can however buy algae wafers from your pet store and they will eat that too.

You can put sucker fish in ponds, but you will need somewhere to keep it in the winter if you live in a state that has cold winters and/or snow. Unlike the Koi and goldfish they cannot live under the ice in the pond. The coldest temperature sucker fish can withstand is about 55 degrees.
