Is it ok if i feed my silver aros dojo loaches? I bought 3 6-7 inch dojo loaches for like alittle over a dollar at my market. Will they kill my aros if they are eaten by the aros? I also wanted to know if my aros can eat squid?

Do dojo loaches have barbs on their faces like clown loaches? If so i wouldn't feed them to an aro. In addition they're ornamental fish so why would you want to feed them to your aro? Why would you want to feed any live fish to your aro?
Yes you can feed it squid.
Yes you can feed it squid.
They dont have any barbs. My supermarket sells them for people consumption and they are really cheap too. So can i feed my aros a full squid? the squid isnt that big.
its so small how do you cook it.
Dojo loaches are by far the best feeder for fish. If they are really that cheap I would buy from that market every time. I used to feed dojo loaches to my bichirs and they grow rapidly and they are like one of the steroid food for fish. However dojo loaches price here went up. $2 each for a 4"-6". Only if I can get cheaper dojo loaches again.
I've seen them eat beetles with is more armored and with spiky legs. Loaches won't be a bother as they are slender and small. It will just eat it like a spaghetti.

From experience they can and will eat loaches. I housed them in a 400 gallon with a loach community for about a year. When I decided to set up a loach only tank and went to extrct the clown loaches I ended up losing 6 loaches. They will also eat squid plus anything else they can fit in there mouth. Ive seen them eat birds, snakes, frogs, mice and ducks. They have been known to eat small monkeys.. so I'm sure you loach is okay.
the market is called hanmi market. Its close to garden grove and brookhurst. thanks for the help!
