Species Spotlight | Kuhli Loach

[@samuelkoch8656]

12 years ago I got myself 6 kuhlis for the bottom on my big cichlid tank to this day they live in a much smaller tank but all by themselves living there best life , still very active after years of having nothing else in the tank.

[@peterwickham9984]

I have loved these fish for years, very tough and very long lived. Full of personality.

[@richbrake9910]

My Kuhli Loach outlived all of my other fish, including the gold fish. Had one for ten years. Very hardy, but very shy. Make sure they have a hiding place such a shell.

Thank you for your informative description, especially converting measurements for us from Countries other than the US.

We're happy the video was helpful! 😊

Fluval Acquatics. Nice report. The Kuhli aslo comes with "no bands," LOL. "All gray." Enjoyed it.

[@lukaszahra9959]

I love my kuhlis, they come out for me always during the day if I sprinkle a little food for them

[@GAMINGMATRIXXX]

One of my favorite all time fish! I have many different colors of Khulhi Loaches at home.

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

I used to have Kuhli Loach many years ago. They are very fun to watch. Great information. Thankyou very much, Sir. 👍🏼🙂👍🏼❤️

We're glad you enjoyed the video! 😊

pangio cuneovirgarta is a good kuhli for 5-10 gallons. they only get to about 1.5-2 inches and have all the same attributes of regular kuhlis just smaller

[@fluval]

That's a great suggestion, but they may be hard to find for sale!

[@amazingaquaticsandexotics3030]

@@fluval true. mine were sold as pangio semincta for a pretty cheap price

Excellent presentation

Thank you! 😊

Thank you for great info. I have 7 big beautiful funny adults 1 year ago. And have in total 17 kuhliis. 7 quite small I bought the last week's and 2 more today. Yesterday they moved into they new home 250L tank. Mountains with caves, roots to soften their water. Several Caves at the bottom and many types of plants. Drilled holes in a half coconut I need to install. Only kuhliis get inside protected. 35kg sand, 10kg polished small gravle. 3 scalare, 4 anemone shrimps, 7 small shrimps, 4 baby molly, some (had 13) 3 weeks old guppies. I think the scalares ate a few, and 2 other fish I don't remember what kind I bought today. and 1 mystery snail and som sands nails. Molly and mystery snail don't like soft water so they might have to move. I made the aquarium for the kuhliis. Lightning are during some hours normal plant light from the top. In the evening only sunrise, green or red usually Low from the sides from Temu /wish. Not installed yet so tonight it's from the top. Moonlight plant light with dimmer from Temu/wish on the other side. I recommend everyone to have Airbobbles almost at the bottom in front where you can watch them play in the streem. I'm filming right now and will publish on my Instagram Kikkmi73 Kristin Nesdal Or KZbin. Some are playing on one side and some in the bubbles and streem from the pump. Red light kuhlii district in my tank tonight. Love it.

Glad to see this underrated fish getting a spotlight. While the striped version is pretty, I prefer and highly recommend the black Khuli loach. They're far more outgoing and less timid. Especially in groups of 4 or more in a planted tank!

[@fluval]

Thanks for commenting - great suggestion! 😎

[@jackthompson6018]

For beginners I will agree they are more active, and they are bigger which is good. However I added both when I started, and as I added wood and the suggested plants, and added 4-6 khuli, I found that they are actually more active, and they grew to be an ideal size. Both are great!

[@Xenda]

@@jackthompson6018 Glad this worked out for you. Either way these are great little fish and are a ton of fun to watch when active.

[@MrTuna8000]

Will they eat baby shrimps?

[@Xenda]

​@@MrTuna8000Not in my experience.

[@poundtown7381]

Can they be in a tank with Rock gravel or do they have to be in fish tanks with sand?

[@fluval]

Great question! We recommend only keeping Kuhli Loaches in aquariums with fine sand, as they often bury themselves.

[@richbrake9910]

I like your aquarium's shape and size. What brand and size is it? thanks.

[@fluval]

It's a Fluval Spec 16! You can learn more about it here: fluvalaquatics.com/us/shop/product/spec-aquarium-kit-16-us-gal-60-l-black

[@RaniJoy-v4o]

We want new video of FX6 installation 🤩🤩

[@SlytherSnake]

Wiggly bois 🥺

[@liquid619]

They get into my FX6 intake and I have found them in my filter!! Im scared to buy them now because of that.

[@rixsta911]

Put the intake into a course sponge filter, problem solved

[@josephgaona1996]

So u think they could jump up the tank ? I’m getting mine in tomorrow

[@unforeseencircumstances]

@@josephgaona1996 in this video the guy says it can jump out of the tank but from my own experiences, never had that happened to me and i have 9 kuhlis. you can be safe take caution but lids can increase the temperature inside the temp leading to less oxygen, the red swelling on their gills is a sign

[@josephgaona1996]

@@unforeseencircumstances I have four now and open lid love them ! And idk why i pictured them big

[@unforeseencircumstances]

​@@josephgaona1996 nice and i thought the same, I thought they would be larger but i made the mistake of associating kuhli with ropefish and bichirs

Schade das es nicht auch auf deutsch gezeigt wird. Bin ein absoluter fluval Fan.
