He looks like he's trying to hide... Does he have a cave?

Not at the moment. The only cave I have is a neon one from my sisters glow tetra tank think this can fit 4 and whatever else tries to get in it?

http://youtu.be/MLmoquzfjco sorry to have to use a video but I'm not home at the moment. They lay in. The corners, under the swords, on the heater and in the hornwort

That's because they are trying to hide. It's very important to give them a cave...a coconut shell from petsmart is 5 bucks

Poor thing. Needs to bury itself or hide.

They should be in groups of 6 or more. Soft, fine sand will let them sift for food and bury themselves as needed.

They do well in planted tanks with lots of hiding places.

Looks like feeding? Some fish forage all day long!

The nearest pets store is 10 miles but I'll be getting my cave back tomorrow and I can make a temp cave till then

Yes, make sure the holes are large enough in the cave or coconut shell, or whatever you get, so he can go in and out, especially if he's unable to burrow underneath because of the gravel. Kuhlis feel very vulnerable if they don't have hiding spots. I'd give him at least two.

that's as good as I can do till I can get to the pet shop. Should have my rock cave back tomorrow to replace the cup and I made sure the cup is safe I boiled it as best as I could without melting it and sanded all the edges

Would slate work if I propped it up to be at a 15 degree angle?

Good job! That'll certainly work until you can get to the pet shop. Slate would work, but be careful with it. It can collapse and trap fish! I have a slate cave. It's best to glue it with aquarium-safe glue so you know it's not going to collapse.
