Kuhli Loaches

[chr15_8]

ive had one for about 5/6 months (it was in a 15 gallon tank which was well stocked so i couldnt get more)

the loach is in my planted tank (45 gallon) so i bought another 4 but the ones i bought today are about 2 inch's long (max.) and was wondering what i should feed them?

i think i feed mine frozen blood worm before but carnt remember tbh

p.s. i will probably get another 4 next week also while im at it what would be a reasonable price to pay for 4 of these

thanks
chris

blood worms, catfish pellets, and shrimps. Should also eat any flakes or other meaty foods that make it to the bottom.

Cost depends on the species of kuhli. Basically all the pangio species are sold as "kuhlis." Normal black ones run a few dollars each.

Mine like catfish pellets, cucumber and flakes, but their favourite food is bloodworm.

I feed mine sinking wafers from Hikari and they seem to go down well. They also love cucumber.

You should be able to pick them up for about a pound a piece.
