Kuhli loach they do better in large schools.

Kuhli loach they do better in large schools.

^just gonna reimburse this. It is in fact a kuhli and they need schools of preferably 5. That's a little high and some may argue three but 5 is a safe number.

 

[Dutchz]

I have 3

 

[Bichir Bro]

I have 3

oh okay your fine then. If you can sometime more will be good but if not three is an ok number! I though you only had the one.

 

[Dutchz]

They are really cool fish.

 

[Dutchz]

Also how big will they get

 

[GodFan]

2-3 inch max. Schools of 10+ are best as they are shy.

For sure it's Khuli Loache, they must be kept in school.

They may be agressive, but they are very great fish, and eye attracting.

Ok thanks I do not have any aggression problems. I have 3 of them and all they do is hide in my rocks and sometimes come out.

I mean agressive with the other fishs. They not aggressive against their similar.

 

[Dutchz]

I have a betta and 3 mollies with it and there is no aggression between any of them.

 

[mrvincent]

That's a good thing then. Since how much time ? Do they have a lot of hiding places ? I think the more Khuli Loache you have, the less they're aggressive.

 

[Dutchz]

They have a lot of hiding places.

 

[GodFan]

Kuhli loaches are not at all aggressive.....

 

[flitabout]

I have never heard of them being aggressive.

 

[Dutchz]

Thanks I didn't think they were at all.

Possibly what may appear as aggression to some is their interaction with each other. The chasing, and winding around each other could be mistaken for aggression. They are definitely an active fish.

 

[mrvincent]

After doing research, you're right, they're not agressive, but must be kept in group of 5+ or they'll be stressed.

 

[Dutchz]

I think three is enough and they hang with the other fish and they play,I guess you call it that.
