In Reply to: Re: Should Khuli loaches be in groups? posted by KT_2002 on November 18, 2002 at 14:17:31:
keep kuhlis, I have clown loaches, their activity increases in proportion with the number of them in the tank. I currently have 6 (previously had 3) and their activity has increased tremendously.
You might try the folks over at loaches online...here is the link and an excerpt on kuhlis:
The kuhli loach will live for several years in an aquarium in which it is the only fish of its kind, but it seldom comes out in the open and cannot be enjoyed for its comical actions. If it is kept in small groups (I like to keep at least a half dozen together), the kuhli loach will be seen swimming in and around piles of rocks, under and over pieces of driftwood or around stems of plants. It will be out looking for food, playing tag with its friends or simply "sunning" itself on a raised object - in short, it will act more like it would in the wild.

::I have heard khuli loaches like to be kept in groups and will be more active and gregarious if you keep them together. Is that true? What has been your experiance or what have you heard on this subject? I have one khuli and I am trying to decide if I should get one or two more.
::Thanks!
