Khulie Loach search

[SusieJG]

Hi all,

I usually post in the livebearers forum, but hopefully one of you can provide more help. I have a 40 g. tank with mostly guppies. I have about 40-50 fry of all ages ( a few days to a few months) swimming around in there at any given point. I wanted to add a few bottom dwellers to the tank, but was concerned for the safety of the fry. I was told that a khulie loach would be an ideal addition, but when I went around to several pet stores I couldn't find any! Do khulie loaches go by an alternate name that may be more common to see in a store? If not, can anyone recommend another similar fish that may be a good addition to my tank?

Thanks!
-Susie

A couple of Bronze Corys would liven up the bottom of the tank and won't be interested in the fry. One thing to be wary of with Kuhli Loaches is that (in my experience) they very often harbour disease and can easily infect a tank that they are introduced into.
