Compatibility Questions!

So I have quite a bit of fish, but the tanks I have them in are... Bare.

Not bare as in lacking decorations, but bare as in - I need more fishies! Well don't need, but... Want, tehe!


I have the following tanks:

Male OHM Betta fish with 1 Kuhli Loach: 10 gallon tank

Male Veiltale Betta fish with 1 Black Kuhli Loach: 10 gallon tank

Male Veiltale Betta fish with 1 Black Kuhli loach: 10 gallon tank

4 Fancy Goldfish with 2 Black Kuhli loaches: 50 gallon tank

Is there anything I can place with them?

I've been looking into Plattys again, so that means ANOTHER ten gallon tank( I had some when I was younger and miss them! )


One more thing: I use Sand in my 10 gallon tanks, not gravel. So, I can't have any sort of cleaning fish in them.

I wouldn't mind snails, but maybe the giant ones?


ALSO!

One more quick question:

Aquarium salts? What is their purpose? What do they do? Are they good/bad for the fish?

Kuhli's are very social fish, so you should add at least 4 or 5 more to your 10g tanks.

What do you mean by 'cleaning fish' and why do you think you can't have them because of your sand?

Aquarium salt can reduce the affects of stress, and it can be used to treat whitespot if you have fish that won't tolerate the normal meds, but for day to day purposes it does no good at all, and can be very harmful to soft water fish, like rams, tetras and corydoras.

Well, i thought the sand would hurt those 'sucker fish' as people call them?

and okay! Thank you for the info about the Aquarium salt.

Would a tank like that be big enough?

Are Kuhlis compatible with a cold water fish such as a goldfish? I thought they were tropical and required tanks with temperatures 72+F...I may be wrong thuoght.

Yes; kuhlis have a very small bioload as they're so long and thin

Oh, yes, I didn't mean with the goldfish. Goldies are best in a species only tank really.
