Betta23 Fingerling Posts: 29 Kudos: 23 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Mar-2005	Hi guys, I recently purchased 2 Black Kuhli Loaches, i was gonna get 4 but that was all my LFS had. Well i know a place where it sells Kuhli Loaches but only the regulr striped ones, not the "exclusive" black ones. So my question is, would i t be ok for the black and the striped to live together? Will they school and get along? thank u.

While loaches don't school they do like company of their own kind. The color variations though don't seem to make a difference. A good site with lots of loach info & pic is [link=Loaches Online]http://www.loaches.com/species_index.html" style="COLOR: #FFCC99[/link]. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	Sneaky-Pete, a pink loach? That is a strange one I don't see any problem as everyone else has said about them playing together, the tank I bought my striped ones from (and yes I was adament about wanting striped not black ones) also had black ones in the tank, and they all liked to hide in the same places, under the slate and driftwood... Now that they are in the 20 gallon it's the same thing, I want to see the Khulies then I better move the driftwood, and watch them along with the metae fry/juveniles get mad at meEveryone flies everywhich way trying to get away from me, or is it trying to hide againhave no idea they are silly and I've always loved them, so now I've got 5, I really would like to add to the batchheidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."
