is not a loach but a catfish, but to be fair the family is known as loach catfishes. These fish apparently feed on invertebrates in the wild. You might be able to get them to eat prepared foods (ie. shrimp pellets), but if that doesn't work try bloodworms or other live/frozen food to get it settled in.

Congrats! Is it really a ??Wow, would love to see some pics when you can. Cool little fish, not much info here it seems.

You need a few more otos, they're much more fun when the run in packs :D
Racing, shoes and fish. Nothing else matters. Oh, and bacon.
