Title: Kuhli loach on community creator
Post by: Geoffish on March 03, 2018, 08:44:25 PM
Hi
I've noticed that there is a warning for kuhli loaches as s being "too big" to go in with some small fish. I suspect this is because of their length rather than behaviour. I haven't read anywhere else that they can be aggresive and are only scavenge so should be safe enough.

Does anyone know if this is just a glitch due to the algorithm in the CC or should I be more wary of my kuhli loach than I thought?

Thanks

No you'll be fine!  The CC is flagging this up due to the length of the fish as you say. Even a very small fish wouldn't fit in the mouth of a khuli and besides it is a peaceful scavenger  :)

I have had kuhlis with a variety of shoaling fish over the last several years. I have never had an issue with them attacking other fish. If anything, they are the most timid of all the fish - if it comes to a showdown over food, the kuhlis are always the ones to back off. But I have got into the habit of feeding sinking pellets not long before lights out, as the kuhlis are king as soon as it goes dark.

I also suspect that they are the reason I don't really have an issue with snails and rarely find dead fish bodies.
