i've heard that there is a bacteria that is taking out entire shipments of regular kuhli and dojo loaches at wholesalers so they're becoming less common in stores. if you call around you could probably find a LFS in your area that carries kuhlis or at least will order you some.
Yeah, I only had 2 survive of the 8 or so I originally had. They'd drop off one by one.
I think my local fish stores were having large portions of shipments die off. I rarely see actual kuhlis anywhere anymore, and think that's a big reason.
yeah here in san diego at tri city tropicals they had a bunch of the orange and black kuhlis in for like a 1.98? or summin. I had a few in my refugium eh dunno if they are still there or not haven't seen them
