Kuhli Loaches

[Nabbig2]

I am planning on getting some fancy guppies soon for breeding, in my 10g.

Could I also keep a few kuhli loaches? I have never had loaches before, and they look pretty cool. Is there any chance that kuhli loaches would eat newborn guppy fry?

3 is the minimum when keeping them. You could keep 3 in there although the bigger the tank the better so they will have plenty of room to swim around especially at night.

Okay, so do they eat baby guppies?

Ya.. I don't think it could kill any thing.. They do great in planted tanks...

I doubt a kuhli would kill a dat...

There is no way.

There is no way.

It probably squirmed up the anus. Thats the only logical explanation I could think of.

Nabbig, having a large shoal of Kuhli's is always cool. Even in dealers tanks, a group of 40+ kuhli's cowering and swimming together when you tap the glass is pretty cool. It reminds me of something I shouldnt say but if you think about it, you'll get it.

That's impossible. Are you referring to the Pangio or other species? Pangios are not like that.
