Kuhli loaches

Oh, great! How many did you get? Be sure to get enough food to them, the after lights-out feeding works great!

 

Only 2 but I will try to get more as soon as I can.What can I feed them?

I love them very much.
They just don`t want to get out of their hiding place.
But I am gald that they are not so pale any more

 

well, mine aren't fussy, it's just a matter of making sure they get a go at the nummies. I have a number of sinking foods that I feed, they also like Prof Dirks Euro Bloodworm. But mine eat straight flakes too!

That's a good sign, they obviously feel safe! Good luck! I'm sure you'll do fine!

 

Mine will eat pretty much anything that reaches the bottom When I first got mine they didn't come out for the first 2 weeks, thought they had died, and now they scurry around the tank as soon as some form of food gets into the tank, so all you need is some patience

 

I have khuli loaches and clown loaches, and they ignore each other completely - totally fine. Seem to be extremely peaceful fish.

 

I have a type of sinking pellets called: OMEGA ONE veggie rounds.
Do you think they will eat it?And must I feed them tonight?

 

I'm sure they will, just put the lights out for an hour, then slip a few in quietly. Or just crumble a few flakes in, the whole idea is to slip them some grub when everyone else has gone to sleep. Remember that your little kuhlis are a bit stressed.. dont worry too much!

 

Here is a pic of one kuhli loach.

 

I have just bought two of these and they do seem a bit more shy than the other type that i have. Pic below of the other type i have..


..

a previous one that i had used to perch on the leaves on the plants in my tank....used to make me laugh my head off.....he looked like a brown banana, just chilling there

 

I have a khuli-loach-related question... I have a khuli that is most times brown (like the one in arcky's pic), but sometimes, it goes pink all over?
Is something wrong, or does he just get easily embarrassed?

 

You've just made me burst into a guffaw! Sorry, can't answer, but thanx for the laugh!

Anytime, Tracyp But really, he goes pink from head to toe. (Head to... fin)

 

I love my kuhli loaches.
In the day they look for hiding places and at night they swim around in the tank.
One lays on the gravel and then suddenly he/she swims around in the tank.
