	kuhlii loach
Guppy_man Hobbyist Posts: 114 Kudos: 128 Votes: 1 Registered: 27-Oct-2003	I seen this idea on another site,and I personally had mixed feelings about it.Could I put 2 kuhlii loaches in a 5 gal? I had 5 in my 29,but I had gravel not sand and they all died within a week.

Two kuhlis in a five gallon would get lonely, and not have much room. Three loaches would just not have much room. Seriously though, I think you would want to go with a larger tank for kuhlis. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I tell you, he loves to cruise in my 79 gal tank, loves every inch of the gravel ( I dont have sand, but I do have fine gravel that my clowns and other loaches can dig into). I cant imagine putting these fish into a tank less than 30 gal in size, it would be criminal, even though, technically, they could survive in a 10 gal.
