i was reading thru the profile of the Kuhli Loach on this site and noticed it said

Potential Size: 12cm!!

i've never seen one even close to that size!

whats the biggest Kuhli Loach you've seen? and pics would be great if you've got em!

i also noticed the potential life span has been left empty, how long do these guys live for?

Mine are about 10cm and about 4 years old i think... fat little things too!

LOL dude, years means way more than 2 years in this case.
my biggest kuhli is just over 4'' but i got it at a LFS at that size so i don't know how old it is. i got most of my other kuhlis when i first got into fishkeeping about 4 years ago, and the biggest one of those is about 3.5'', they are very slow growers IME

I bought a full sized Kuhli that passed away some time ago, prolly of old age. He was close to 5-6 inches.
