Examination of loading the isotopes $^{85}$Rb and $^{87}$Rb simultaneously into a shallow far-off-resonance trap (FORT) has revealed an unexpected decrease in maximum atom number loaded as compared to loading either isotope alone. The simultaneous loading of the FORT will be affected by additional homonuclear and heteronuclear light-assisted collisional losses. However, these losses are measured and found to be insufficient to explain the observed drop in total number of atoms loaded into the FORT. We find that our observations are consistent with a decrease in loading rate caused by inter-isotope disruptions of the efficient laser cooling required to load atoms into the optical trap.
