plain and simple, could i have a breeding tank with black kuhli loaches? its been planned that my community fish will go into my 20long and all the plants in the 10 gallon (which those fish are in now) would go with them, but the 10 gallon is very mature and would be great to use as a breeding tank. however. catching all my black khulis might be a problem. especially in such a planted tank. so could i just leave them in there while moving the other easier to catch fish into the 20 and still use it for shrimp? heres a pic, this was taken a little while ago but it gives you a general idea of what the tank looks like.

well just about any fish will eat fry i think the kuhli's would have a terrible time finding those li'l buggers in all that moss, so if you dont mind the risk in losing some then yeah it should work. and kuhli's are a lot more peaceful than other loaches
