How Long Should I Wait To Add Kuhli Loaches

[LynnJ]

I have this tank for about 7 weeks now. I cycled it by the help from this forum...Since I have stock my tank I have never had any problem than one day after over 60% water change I killed my BN pleco.
From beginning my plan was to have some Kuhli loaches but some people told me it wasn't a good idea for that new not well-matured tank.

I have been waiting but I wonder if I go and buy them now I would have any problem

I have
30 gallon long
Rena XP 1 and aquaclea 200
Heater watts 100 X 2
Normal gravel

Fish I have
6 zebra danio
4 tiger barbs
3 platy

Plant now left is only Amazon sword and java moss the rest I put there are all dead.

I'd wait for around 4-6 months after the tank was fully cycled to give it a chance to mature before adding them. Here's a good topic explaining the difference between a cycled tank and a mature one.
