it's a little over 2 inches long (6cm). they hide all day but come out when i feed them, and they are very greedy! they dart around the tank quickly eating and going back to their hides when full. they were labeled khuli loaches but i don't think thats what they are... any ideas?

i think it might be a cinnamon loach (pangio pangia) or a java loach (pangio oblonga).
 
I have some of these as well. I also picked them up at Petsmart labeled as Black Kuhli. Mine are out and about a surprisingly large amount of the time.
 
cinnamon loach:)
 
If it has nasal barbels (top lip - looks like it has) then it's a Java Loach. Cinnamon loach doesnt have nasal barbels.
