Black coolie loaches

[Aylana]

Hi all, I have been looking for info on black coolie loaches. I spotted some at the LFS yesterday and think they are adorable! I have found some info but I am curious as to what you guys recommend as a minimum tank size? I only have an 18gall which I suspect may be too small but it would be handy to know in case the boyfriend ever agrees to a bigger tank.

Thanks
Aylana

I'd say 18 gallons is big enough. They don't need a massive amount of room. Get at least 3.

Great thanks guys! I might just have to go and see if they still have them in on thursday then!

Yeah I think 18 would be ok for a few.

no problem



I don't own them personally anymore though. Thankfully I still know some about them though

They are basically the same as the normal loach. They are just a colour morph. They are awsome fsh. Make sure lids are on at all times though. And they have been known to disapere and LIVE under your UG filter. Little buggers!
