If it's the tank in your signature, I bet they're happily hiding among themselves.

Kuhlis very rarely bury themselves, if at all.

i disagree with that statement, or at least the unmodified version.

kuhlis will quickly bury themselves when they feel threatened and will live in hiding if they feel threatened on a continual basis. however, in a non-scary tank, kuhlis are generally in the open and spend very little time buried in the substrate. that does not mean that they don't love to squeeze themselves into interesting little nooks and crannies.
