I just got my first ten gallon aquarium with 4 kuhli loaches, two leopard danios, and an albino cloud tetra. Love it so so much
I just got 2 loaches today. When i was acclimating them my Betta was eye balling them, but when I released them my Betta (floki) didn't care for them and just kept on doing his laps around the tank😂
Your Betta was wondering "who the hell are these intruders?" at first!
Lmao same thing happened to mine
You should keep more than two
Really enjoyed the video! We have a couple dozen, some striped and some black, in a planted tank. We gave them lots of caves & hiding places but we still see them a lot. They feel more comfortable being out in the open when they know that there's a place to hide close by. They are such fun fish with lots of personality.
I really love these critters! Thanks for sharing your story. Comments like these are what make me happy to post videos. Thanks for watching and commenting!
first fish i ever got when i restarted the hobby this year. great guide
Ridzal Zainal I love these guys!thanks so much for watching and commenting!
This was so refreshing! I have 2 Kuhli loaches right now, one almost adult black, and one teeny tiny brand new baby striped. They are both doing wonderfully and I just used this video as confirmation to make sure I’m not making any mistakes and it doesn’t seem so! Doesn’t you love that feeling???!?!!!! Thank you!!
Cool to hear, I’d always recommend a few more for more comfort to them I have Kuhli loaches too😁
A lid is highly recommended, I have lost several Kuhli loaches due to jumping out in the middle of the night.
That’s a great piece of advice! I have not experienced that. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the information. I just got 6 of them very tiny about 1.5 inch atm, can't wait for them to grow.
They are gorgeous. Thank you for the good useful information.
Great guide , love these kuhli loaches
korzer Thanks so much for watching and commenting and I love the Kuhli loaches too!
I’ve had mine for the last 7 months with my 5 Daniels and 3 othos They are so active and love to play with my othos
Thanks budd for your experience with this species. Keep up the info
Thanks Eliot! Really appreciate you watching and leaving the encouraging comment!
Thanks for the tips and information. Ijust purchased 3 for my tank. The sure are shy and love to hide.
I have about 5 and they are just great.
Awesome video. I just got 6 today for my community tank. Very informative.
That’s awesome! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Thanks for watching and commenting!
They really prefer a fine sand substrate ❤️
I just got two yesterday and although I put some filter floss over my HOB intake, one still got in and unfortunately died. I think he managed to swim into the outtake... I've lowered the water level, put mesh over the intake and lowered the flow rate - hopefully the other one does okay and can get him some mates.
Yeah, They are good at getting themselves caught in filters. What I do is use a sponge over my HOB filter so they don't get sucked in and I don't have to lower the flow rate: amzn.to/2Z7weiJ
Thanks for watching and commenting! Hope this helps!
@@TropicalFishGuy Thanks for the advice! I went past my local aquarium store today and got sorted :)
They are not sensitive to temperature fluctuation though. If it isn't too fluctuate.
Hello! How are you and your family! I wanted to get two Kuhli loaches in my two ten gallon tanks with my bettas and Otocinclus catfish. I was concerned in getting them due to having small to medium gravel in my tank. I notice you had these gravel in your tank.
Hi Gail, As long as it's smooth gravel they should be fine. Thanks for watching and commenting!
You've got them on coarse gravel and they need sand for burrowing.
i love kuhli loaches
I have 3 kuhli loaches and they are always hiding. In fact, I thought the goldfish had eaten theme when they were in my 55 gallon but they came out when they were moved to my 125 gallon. Would they be more active if I got 3 more more kuhli loaches?
Probably not. Kuhli loaches are nocturnal and come out at night. You might see them more when you turn off the tank light but keep the room light on. That's when I see mine mostly. sometimes they come out during the day but rarely. I would also keep some plants like pearl weed in the tank. They seem to like hiding in it.
Enjoyed the video just subscribed
One of my favorite fish in my community. I had 2# dojo loaches for 7yrs that passed away on me .I got #2 banded kuhli loaches( all I could find a rarity here) I never see'em until I vacuum my substrate 🤞hopefully they're still alive ,makes me worry. Community consist of # 2 koi angelfish # 4 tetras # 4 dalmatian Molly's # 3 sunburst platy's # 5 panda corys # 2 apple snails & one glass fish . 250 gallon aquarium for my community & have a 45 gallon quarantine tank . My question is?? am I doing something wrong because they hide all the time & water parameter is close to perfect IDK 🤔. Appreciate the helpful information truly. Maybe up the numbers & get a few more loaches guess any advice would be appreciated. Thanks my friend Salute 🎬💯👍P.s sorry for the S.A extremely long comment
Sounds like you’re doing all the right things. Yes they are shy and you won’t see them much. On some tanks I forgot they are there until one day I see them and remember how cool they are. They like to hide so that is a downside. Thanks for watching and sharing!
They are nocturnal. But the more you have the less shy they become. I recommend you get more of them
@@jessicasinclair323 agree 💯. It took awhile to find #8 banded kuhli loaches. I spent 14 a piece & honestly think I paid to much. In 2023 that's the norm lol. Appreciate your info. thanks 🙂👍
I bought 2 kuhli loaches about 5 weeks ago. I saw them for the first time 3 days ago. Crazy.
Do coolie loaches get along with clown pleco
They’ve always been fine together for me.
do they eat live shrimps?
Great video!
Kool video as always! Heater or no heater for the kuhli loache? Thanks! 😎
I see your a fan of those BETA FISH... i had no luck with them... They were constantly fighting..
I've been keeping them for 55 years,
We have had one Kohli loch for 3 months and just got another one today. They act like they are fighting. It looks pretty brutal. What shd we do? Why are they fighting? Thanks. Patty
How to breed them? :)
How many can you keep on a 20 gallon long?
Good morning from Chicago and what a great video. I have in my 29G tank 6 white skirt tetras, 3 kuhli loaches (i hope i have all 3 still LOL) 5 snails and 4 baby guppies. I have 3 kuhli loaches in my quarantine tank. My question is I feed once a day in the morning bug bites. If i drop a veggie round, won't the other fish eat it? won't that over feed? or are you saying feed them one or the other?. I don't have any gravel in my QT tank, just a couple decor thingies for fish to hide.
Is your tank a new set-up? It's so clean
That is cool
i had 3 loaches in my 30 gal and one of them disappeared another just died recently
Sorry to hear that.
do they eat shrimplets??? (baby cherry shrimps)
can i keep 7 of them in a 20 gallon tank?
so 2 or 3 is okay in a 15 gallon? And i heard they do okay with bristelnose pleacos as wel
Would an aquarium in the 8-8.2 range be too high for kuhli loaches?
What aquarium in dallas do you buy fish from? I also live in dallas and would like to find a good aquarium store
Hi Gomez, glad to meet a local hobbyist. A couple of good ones are: dallasnorthaquarium.com/ and www.theaquariumboutique.com/
Let me know what you think about them.
@@TropicalFishGuy thank you i will check them out
Can they live without oxygen pump
I wouldn’t recommend it. But I’ve never tried.
Can I keep them in Discus tanks? Currently with corydoras and hillstream loach
I think they would be fine with discus.
I heard they are great for snacking up pest snails?
They will eat the small ones for sure. They leave the bigger ones alone in my tank.
Do Kuhli Loaches get along with Angel Fish?
Is there any chance I can fit some of them in a 6 gallon with a betta and 4 shrimp?
No
can anyone recommend any type of loaches for my tank, two mollies an one betta fish?
Kuhli Loaches are great with this combination of fish.
@@TropicalFishGuy thank you, i got 3 today, quick question my betta fish is red is it normal for it’s to change colour, it’s dotted blue underneath, all red when first bought.
I enjoyed the video but what about that Betta he doesn't look so good :(
Kuhli Loaches are very tribal.😂
Tribal and super cool!
Yhe kuhlii can harm themselves on the shell pieces and want to dig in sand so this is tank is not really suitable for them
Can kuhli loach live with goldfish¿?
Weather loach will be better. Kuhli required different water parameters than goldfish.
They can. I have done it before if the water quality is good and not too cold.
Tropical Fish Guy OMG LOL
Tropical Fish Guy But why goldfish did not eat it
Yes, If the goldfish are big then they will try to eat them. My goldfish were very small and I had lots of rocks for the Kuhli's to hide. But Yes, I would be hesitant to put Bigger goldfish with Kuhlis. I iwould totally agree with you that Dojos are better.
Sadly you show them on the worst substrate for them ever. They need a soft substrate like sand so they can burrow
Hey! Quick question, how are your khuli doing? Everyone keeps telling me I need sand or soft substrate. You are the only one I came across who has similar substrate to mine. I bought 3 recently and now I am concerned because of my substrate.
I have some in similar gravel and they are doing great!
A forum I read a lot talks about substrate a lot for these guys, and those with a mix in the tank all say the kuhlis hang out in the gravel portions the most.
Is your betta ok?
Looks pregnant
Hi,my gravel is kinda on the bigger size.Is there a way I could make these work if I do like a tunnel thing or tiny cave? Thanks!!
Hi fishy friends.. I have a 12 gallon tank.
And I have 9 neon tetras, 7 guppies, 5 harlequin rasboras, 3 panda cory.
Can I add 2 kuhli loach?
Is it safe.?
You got a full tank. I bet it looks great to see! If its working for you then I wouldn't change anything.
This is only ¢50 in my country.
Wow! That's a deal if I ever saw one! I would have a tank full of them if I could buy them that cheap. How many do you have?
@@TropicalFishGuy as of now I only have 3 of them with 1 corydora and 6 cardinal tetra in a 10g tank. I also want a tank with lots of kuhli loaches.
Can I keep 1 in a 5 gallon with a betta
Was that a pregnant guppy? Haha
dont purchase kuhli loach. no reason they all died😭
