I'm wondering if i could keep a khuli loach with my betta in a 1 gallon. It seems small but its a small fish. What do you think?

1 gal is fine for a Betta, but Kuhlis grow to 5 inches- too big for a 1 gal

They get that big?

The site I was just on said 2.8

They can get up to 5". My friend had 2- one was 4.5" the other was close to 5".

You could use this as an excuse to get a bigger tank

Yeah. I have a 20 long(is really better for lizards though) a 10 somewhere, and I'm going to be getting a 29. I was thinking just to keep one in there for awile until my 29 is set up. But my betta tank doesn't have a heater so it really wouldn't work anyway.

Kuhlis will definitely grow to ta least 4"; my oldest (of eight) is over 5".

The other problem is that kuhlis, like other loaches, enjoy being kept with company of their own kind.

There is water at the bottom of the ocean

If u do want to keep a kuhli, u wld have to keep atleast 3-5 of them. They like each other's company.

Khuli with Betta not a problem but in a small tank hopeless.
I have three in with my Betta see photos. As far as length there are several varieties. This site might help you.
