If I added some dojo and black kuhli would they school together?
Thanks

They might "rest" or burrow near to each other but I doubt they will school together all the time. I have 5 kuhli loaches and 4 golden dojo loaches and they don't mind each other but by no means do they school. Merely co-exist.
 
They can live with each other but probably won't school with each other.
 
Dojos get quite large and can be escape artists.

And I doubt they would school together.

The more Kuhlis you have the better they behave. Dojos are social, but not as needy as the Kuhlis IME.
 
+1 to what coursair said

Kuhlis need to be in large groups with other kuhlis. I have 12 right now. They love to snuggle up together in a favorite rock or driftwood crevice.
The fewer you have the less you will see them.

Also, dojo loaches are a cool water fish and should not be kept in tropical temps.
