Kuhli loach?

svneo · 02-25-2002, 05:45 AM

Can you put kuhli loaches in a planted tank or will they rip everything up?  Also, how do they get along with Cory's?

As far as I have read Coolie loaches are some of the best worm eaters out there, so your plants would be very safe. However I do not know how well they would get along with corys. Proably fairly well since loaches usually only like to come out at night.

I was a little worried about the Cory's with plants before I got them.  I had never had Cory's before.  But they are so careful and delicate with the plants. It's like they know wxactly what their job is.

even in a sand tank kuhli loaches would do no harm to your plants. they are just to small to do anything.
I got 3 in my tank that are some of the biggest I've ever seen almost as fat as a pencil!!!! I had to have them when I saw them for sale, they look so awesome at that size, but they only grow to be like 3" in length so never a problem with plants.
LIke the others have said, you'll NEVER see these things in a planted tank, so you might want to consider something else. They ONLY come out at night, and in a big tank are impossible to see even at night.

Hey there,

I have two Khuli loaches, gonna get a third.

I also have a Dojo/Weather loach, much larger greyish colored loach.

Even though he's about 6 inches. He's so gentle he'll rest lightly on the leaves and branches of plants. Even though he's six inches.

I have 3 Kuhlis in one of my tanks, with 2 corys, and they never bother eachother, I don't think they even know the other one is there.. very peaceful, and they've never harmed my plants.. if it's densely planted in atleast 1 part, they might come out. I have one living under my group of crypts at the moment..

There are black kuhli loaches and stripped kuhli loaches.  From my experience the black are much more outgoing.  I have both and I see the blacks whenever I feed the fish they come out and look for scraps but I haven't seen the stripped ones for a month.  Hope they are ok!
