Breeding kuhli loaches

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
There's no way to distinguish their sexes and neither will you get a very high chance of them spawning. Spawning for them is very rare.:)

This is not true at all!

"Sexual Dimorphism: Females noticeably plumper when loaded with eggs like other Pangio species."

They will also bread in an aquarium with proper setup...Getting the fry to survive is a little harder.
 
get them lots of plants and rocks and caves to hide in. feed them well. the female is gargantuan compared to the males, really. after that, if they feel like it, they'll breed like crazy. my friend has a 20 or 25 gal hex, and those babies won't stop.
