Do I need more..

[dixaisy930]

I've had four kuhli loaches for over two weeks now, and love them to death! What great fish! I see them all the time (even during the day some...especially during feeding), but was wondering if I should a few more to give them a bigger shoal? If they will be ok with just four, I'll like to stick with that number, so I put those "fish inches" towards something else...but more kuhlis wouldn't be bad either.

It's entirely up to you. If you add more, then you'll see them more often, but it sounds like they are out and about a bit anyway. They are not a shoaling fish, but are more comfortable with other fish of the same species and so 4 is a fine number as well.

As said its up to you. Generally three or more of a Loach species is consider best unless you are talking about an aggressive species. So the more the better, however, IME this doesn't always mean a greater level of activity.

You don't need any more unless you want more then go ahead and get them. 8)
