If anyone is in the DC/BWI area looking for kuhlis, Aquarium Center in Randallstown has both black and striped. Not bad prices either.

There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Yeah, that was one of the places that said their khulies had been falling ill and dieing a lot lately. I was just in there like a week or two ago and saw some of them again.

I'm not... really a big fan of that place though... :/

I was at my LFS today and they had some Khulis that were only 1 inch long. I wish I had room for the little guys.

hmmm cory prices are about the same.'

I can get them really easy in NZ. there are tons of them. they go for around $7 though...that means $70 for the planned 10...hmmmmm....I think i need a job

I just brought one 4 days ago, and I just found it dead today, before this I had 2 weather loaches. Which as of today I have only one left. Seem as though they are not very hardy. But Australia has plenty of them, but I won't be buying any more.

FT - I dont know the exchange rate, but that sounds bloody expensive. We get them for about 3.50AU each. But maybe thats just me not paying attention to stock market stuff on TV

Matt

The exchange rate isn't that much of a difference bloke.
Oh how much are corys in oz bloke?

You can get corys, panda corys, $AU17. i think. Corys are expensive is the point.

Pepper corys $6.95 AUD
Bronce corys $6.95 AUD
Albino corys $5.95 AUD
Jullii corys $16.95 depending on your lfs. Cheaper in Brisbane - these prices are lower Goldcoast Australia.

My bronze cories were $4.00 AUD each, Saw a panda cory for $10.50 and thought that was too expensive.

But back to the original post,...here in Aus kulhi's are not really rare...go for about $5 AUD each.

I've seen kuhli's here for $2.50 to $3-ish as well.

Where at?

Is it just me in New Orleans or is there a major shortage of kuhli loaches. I have asked about 6 LFS's not including wally world and pet smart. No one has them or an eta on them. They claim all their inventory has been dieing on them and the fish suppliers arent offering them. I sorta want some for my new tank. :88)

every khulie ive seen is 2.99-4 flat
the blacks go for 4-5 bucks canadian of course

corys r cheap tho

i herd the shortage is becuz most r wild cot n they only come from a few places in the world n theyre being fished out there is a major push to farm them tho
ive treid to breed myn they mate alot but no success in fry if i am successful ill sell ya sum cheap

My LFS is out of them also. They used to always have them. My current kuhlis need buddies.

i dont see many corys in Mass. usually albinos but i bought the only panda and ive only seen some half dead emerald(i think) ones.

Hehe I saw two cool golden dojo's last night. I was like drool. I had Kuhli's for years. They are hardy. I miss them. Just when I get back into things I end up looking for my favorite fish and cant find it. It took weeks just to find a Dojo.

I think this LFS in northern VA has them for about three bucks and they will order them for you

they are about 2 bucks in california. and 6 for 10 bucks

Hey, im in British Columbia, Canada,
and here the kuhli loaches are 5.49 for a pair at my LFS and 3.99 each at another.
The guy at the LFS said that what is happening is that kuhlis are very sensitive to transport, and if they arent shipped properly, they often die shortly after arrival. He said that the major distributors for most of canada get the kuhlis from 1 major farm, sometimes 2, and the shipping practices are just not good enough. However, he did say that the farm in indonesia where they come from, where most aquarium distributors get them from, has changed their shipping methods, and the kuhlis are looking much better!
So there is hope Kuhli lovers, just have a little patience!

Thank god! When they get here I am buying 10 of them
