I've had two of these guys for a few months and hardly get to see mine! I've read up on them and apparently you need atleast a dozen and a few caves and such and than they say they should be very lively little guys, but personally I think it depends on the fish itself. P.s if you like loaches I recommend weather loaches they're very friendly I've even fed mine out of my hand! Read up on them their history is very cool!!!

Im going to get another khuli soon
yeah I think all fish have there own distinct personality. My khuli is a cheeky little guy and me scarlet badis loves him it's fascination hehe. He has his little hidy hole in a small opening at the bottom of an anchor ornament. They really give the tank that extra something it's like having a little eel in there my son calls him my snake lol as to why I got the he has an obsession with snakes and sat and watched a large eel at the pet shop fro like half an hour and that's a long time to sit still for a 2 year old. I thought well this is doable and a happy medium for the moment oh and I will def look them up I've read a bit about them and there amazing weather forecasting abilities

You did a really good job with your pic, he's a cute little guy. Kuhli's are great clowns to have in a aquarium!! I thought I'd share some info I have learned that you might find usefull. First off because Kuhli's have such a small bioload you can have more than you thought, the 1" a fish rule does not apply!! They do best in groups of 4 or more and if you have a group of Cory Cat's you will probably see your Kuhli's a lot more often. Kuhli fish are nocturnal but having the Cories seems to help them feel more secure so you see them more often. There also are times when you stop seeing them except in the evenings and other times they're out during both day & night. These are very interesting fish but the info available on them is limited.
Once I had a Kuhli & a Cory in a quarintine tank and I saw them playing with each other; both of these fish have clownish natures and are fun to watch. Snake comments are popular, every time my Mom see's one of my Kuhli's she says "I see a snake"!!
