I've always desired to have Kuhli loaches in my first aquarium, though after months of no success finding any in my local area, I settled on some yoyo/pakistani loaches. These have now fully grown and are strong boistrous fish that love to play! However, knowing my want for Kuhlis, but nothing about aquariums, my dad managed to find some and purchased two as a gift.
I've had them in quarantine tank for almost a week now, however one unfortunately passed (nothing wrong with the water, apparently its common for kuhlis to pass within the first week?) though the other is strong and healthy.
However the huge size difference between the little kuhli and the yoyos has me worried that it may be seen as snack rather than tank mate material.
Is there any issues with putting a kuhli baby in with fully grown yoyos?
If so how long will it take for a kuhli to grow to a decent size to house them together, as my quarantine tank is only 20litres and I'd much prefer it in the large aquarium with much more space!
(Also I am aware Kuhlis are group species, I've already spoke to my dad about where he got them and plan on getting a few more if this one survives~ )
Also appologies if this is the wrong section! I'm totally new to this site and have no idea how to navigate it yet
