Kuhlii Loach - Sumatra
Pangio kuhlii
The Kuhli Loach is a popular addition to any peaceful aquarium. They are inquisitive and active fish, often found at the bottom of the tank where they swim about with eachother. They also are known for scavenging on pest snails, making them a great addition for your cleanup crew.
The Kuhli Loach prefers to live in schools as they are quite sociable with others and reach a maximum size of roughly 4 inches so because of this, a minimum tank size is recommended to be 20 gallons. The tank should have plenty of hiding spots on the bottom of the tank for the Kuhli Loach to hide inside of.
Ideally you won't want to house them with other fish that can outcompete them for food, especially so with other bottom dwelling fish.
Kuhli Loaches are omnivores and should be fed a balanced diet of meat and vegetable-based foods such as high-quality sinking pellets, live or frozen brine shrimp, blanched vegetables secured to a feeder clip.
