What would be better for my 60 UK Gallon tank,(not setup) a pair of Khulie loaches or a spiny eel (Probally peacock or tyre track possibly fire.)
The other fish I plan to keep are:

2 x Channa Bleheri (might change to a more tropical Channa)
4 x Butterfly/Clown Plecos Or 2 x Chaca Chaca Cats
2 x Black Ghost Knife
4 x African Butterfly Fish

I would rathar keep an Eel (Any kind) I know I seem MENTAL by considering a Tyre track or fire eel but from this website:http://fish.mongabay.com/mastacembelidae.htm
It seems ok... please post your opinions!

-The tank is 60 uk / 70 us gallons-
 
with channa i would say a peacock spiney! kuhli stay so small i would be afraid they would be dinner
 
Yay!1st vOte for an eel =]] Thats what I want to keep! -There will be a lid whenever I get the tank-
 
eel hands down, kuhlis suck unless you set up a special species tank with blackwater, subdued lighting and like 20 of them so they dont just hide all the time.
 
Also look into some of the other eels available on the moment, like i've mentioned the borneo python has to be one of if not the most attractive eel.
This is a pic of a python one of the vendors had a while back
