No not at all, kuhlis require at least a 20 gallon long footprint ( 30 inches by 12 inches)
Maybe some Burmese loaches
 
There is a dwarf chain loach that only gets to about 2.5 inches. They are great little snail eaters. They are kinda expensive($13 to 16 each) They seem to come out more during the day than a lot of loaches. My two even come out and school with the rummys periodically. They look so cool going around thinking they're tetras. I had hundreds of baby ramshorn snails before I got them. In two months they wiped them out. OS.
 
Borneo suckers aka hillstream loaches are coldwater fish, need high current, and besides need at least 29 gallons
 
Can i get a borneo sucker?
Personally id say 15g to 20g minimum for borneo sucker/hillstream loach. If you want it to be happy. But if your tank isn't heavily stocked, then 1 might be ok. As long as you understand the water requirements for them.

Water Temperature Range: 20-24°C (sub-tropical fish. They prefer cooler water.)
Water pH Range: 6.5-8.0
Water Hardness Range: 2-15 dGH
Fast Flowing water/ current, highly oxygenated.

Hope that helps.
 
Ok i didn't know they were coldwater i was just nameing cool ones that i saw. I have a couple pieces of driftwood( there small pieces of cypress wood i found ) and i soaked them n water for about 2-3 weeks and they still float and i don't want them to leak anything or turn the water brown!:ermm::ermm:

Cool, I did the same thing for my drift wood. I can't really think of any cool sucker fish right now hmmm,
 
I don't think there's really any species that's suited to be in a tank that small, partially because pretty much all of them would much rather be in groups. Even dwarf chain loaches (yasuhikotakia sidthimunki) would need more than that.
 
Right now i have 1 2-3" upside down cat, 2 1-1.5" otocinclus, and 1 1.5" zebra danio and 1 2-3.5" marimo ball and there all doing fine but my cat is hiding behind the filter intake tube most of the day. Should i boil the diftwood?

No, just pour boling water on it. Also I would upgrade soon, my so called upside down cat turned Ito an 8 inch adult African squeaker so be care full. I would also try to upgrade to a 20f at least so all those fish can be happy an have enough room :)
