keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	My Profile has all the Betta Tank details. Have a look in [link=My Profile]http:// www.fishprofiles.com/interactive/forums/profile.asp?userid=6741" style="COLOR: #00FF00[/link] for my tank info My concern as it is fully planted there will be basically no free substrate area. I will be wanting a fish suitable to clean under the plants. I have done some research on Kuhli and they seem to be the fish I am wanting to do the job. I dont think I could have more than 2.

That photo was taken several months ago and now the only free substrate areas are under the wood. The kuhlis though seem to prefer the crypt jungle in the middle and the vals. It's quite funny to see them suddenly appear out the plants at feeding time. I'll have to try to get a shot of them in the crypts. edit: I'm also a bit biased since they're my favorite fish Theresa_M attached this image: Last edited by Theresa_M at 02-Sep-2005 04:42[/font] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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	I must agree Keith I'm sure they will be fine...I actually see mine very seldom, but when I want to know where they are, all I have to do is lift up the driftwood in the tank, and bam there they are flying about the tank, like they are on speed or something:%) Go for it and get yourself 4-6 they should be fine, and your tank is plenty filtered and all, so I wouldn't worry heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

ClownyGirl Fish Addict Posts: 508 Kudos: 311 Votes: 5 Registered: 07-Oct-2004	I think you can go and get 5 because they are pretty much like an earthworm to the aquarium and given the size of ur tank, I dont think a group of 3-5 would put a load on it. My experience with Kuhlies however has been that they dont like sudden water changes so you have to watch them for a few days to see if they survive. On the other hand, they are so small and good at hiding that if one does die on you, you just might not know.
