Kuhli Loaches Cast a Magic Spell on Me!!!
April 18th 2003 - A public holiday in Sarawak. It would have been boring to stay at home, so I invited my cousin to go to the countryside to look for fish.
Other Info= The Kuhli Loach will interbreed with Slimy Myersi which is closely related to it. Kuhli Loaches are twilight fish that are active at night, remaining hidden during the daytime.
Kuhli Loaches are loners that are most active at night with the lights out. The tank should be decorated with thick bunches of plants and various rocky caves. Light levels should be low, which can be achieved through the use of floating plants.
Our Black Kuhli Loach are some of the most coolest fish. They tell us when it is cold outside because they are all out at the same time, and that doesnt usually happen a lot. Plus we go outside to see if they're right and they usually are.
Kuhli Loaches normally reach lengths around three and a half inches (nine centimeters). Their bodies are elongate, and they appear more like the bodies of eels in shape. The body of a Kuhli Loach becomes laterally flattened as it approaches the tail.

Kuhli loaches are a peaceful and in-expensive addition to most community tanks. This fish likes to burrow, so provide fine sand or a peat bottom. Nocturnal; feed sinking tablets or live foods at dusk.
Kuhli Loach: Although it will live for several years in an aquarium where it is the only fish of its kind, the kuhli loach will seldom come out in the open under these conditions. More

SYN : Acanthophthalmus fasciatus, A. kuhlii, Cobitis kuhlii
PD :The Kuhli Loach has an eel-like shape. The dorsal fin is located far back on the body.
Description: The kuhli loach is an eel-shaped fish, elongated with slightly compressed sides, and very small fins. The dorsal fin starts behind the middle of the body, and the anal fin well behind this.
The most commonly seen loaches are the Kuhli Loaches - Acanthophthalmus species. These are long, ribbon-like fishes which grow to be 4" long. Brown with yellow stripes and bands, Kuhli Loaches are shy and spend a lot of time buried in the gravel.
It has one lamprologus brichardi, 4 neolamprlogus brevis, 2 small cory cats, 1 bumblebee goby, and 1 kuhli loach. Substrate is sand in this one, unlike the gravel in the other two tanks.
This fish strongly resembles it's close cousin the Kuhli Loach, color will be similar. These are small loaches and should be kept with gentle fish in a community environment. They should be kept in groups of 3 or more.
Barbs, Danios, and most Tetras should all be kept in schools. Loaches such as the Clown and Kuhli loach often will pine away if they are not kept in a school of their own kind. Even larger fish such as the Silver Dollar prefer to live in a school.
The most popular Botia, the Clown Loach, is definitely not a good starter fish, nor is the Kuhli Loach. Some Botias, such as the Rainbow (Blue) Botia, can become very aggressive and should be watched closely.
