Question before kuhlis

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
At one time I had kuhli, blue botia, clown and even some hillstream loaches all in the same tank.... you could say I had a loach problem.... ?
Other than the kuhli's staying hidden 80% of the time.... even when they did swim up and around, never had a problem with leaping or feeling the need to cover the gaps.

Problem? What problem?
You were what is aptly called by Loaches Online a Loachaholic, the best type of -aholic to be barring absolutely none ?
 
He actually ended up in the bucket but I was having trouble getting him out and there was other stuff that I didn't want to go back in so I poured him into my hand over the closed sink incase he tried to wiggle out of my hand.
 
Daniacat Daniacat , Fishman Dave Fishman Dave , just experimented with something concerning kuhli loaches lying on their backs to eat that you both might find of interest.
I let the tea steeper full of frozen food that I mentioned before fall to the bottom instead of hanging it from the top as usual. The kuhli loaches - both the established ones and the new ones I just added yesterday - were eating from it upside down, just like Daniacat's are eating the zucchini.
So I would recommend dropping in a tea steeper of frozen food to encourage such feeding behavior. I'll get some pictures of them doing that next time I feed frozen food.
