I had 5 of these guys in a 29 gal with gravel and they used to like to bury themselves in it. They'd work their way into any crevice and squirm down to the bottom. Eventually they all disappeared and I assumed they were dead. 3 years later while breaking the tank down to rebuild it I was washing the gravel and lo and behold all five of them were squirming around. Now I have a big 40 gal breeder and 12 of these guys on the way. I used to call them my little tank noodles.

Just a wonderful video - amazing footage, and captivating on its own without voice or music. I hope more people see this, and also realize that for most fish, providing tons of hiding places helps you see them more. I see so many barren tanks with maybe 1 ornament and 2 fake plants and people say, "But I want to SEE the fish" - not realizing they will get the most wonderful views, behaviour, and colour of many of their fish if they would just give them safe haven.

It really is an addictive hobby. You know the old saying, "there are lots of fish in the sea" ? Well, that's why it's so addictive, there are just so many many fish !!! I like big tanks with lots of little fish, rather than a big tank with one or two big fish. My advice is to keep it simple. Single species setups are far less problematic than community tanks. And keep it inexpensive by using sponge filters rather than expensive canister filters, and filters where there are things to replace. Simple setups mean more time to enjoy the fish!!! :-)

One tank I used to have had 10 kuhli loaches and 6 glass cats, they both reproduced. They were in a 30 gal. tank in my bedroom, so it wasn't as bright or as active around it as my other tanks. I only did a water change on it about every 3 weeks, so it was pretty much undisturbed most of the time. I had a night light with a blue Christmas tree bulb in it that I sat on the glass hood so I could see them at night. :)

i have a question, my friend gave me a 1 loach . When it got in the tank. It was fine. Hiding. But after an hour O saw it swimming so fast around the tank up and down, I got it yesterday. During night and day, it will hide few moments later it will swim in front of the tank up and down and around. Im so worried is it normal or is it stressed out? Please help.
@TheDave3334 жыл бұрын
That's actually very normal behavior. Mine sometimes do it for days! A lot of the time, it's right after I do a water change. It will stop after a while. Their mating behavior is a somewhat similar.

You're very welcome. He should be fine, as long as the other fish are not aggressive. Kuhli loaches like to hide, and are a little shy, but it's always a nice treat when they do make an appearance. Be sure to provide places for it to hide.

About half a week ago I got a Kuhli loach and a guppy to add to my tank, I also had a tetra in there as well, at first the loach was super shy and I rarely saw it, but the past 2 days it's been swimming all around the tank like it was where I got it, but I read online that there nocturnal and in your video they like to be with 6 or more other loaches, so is mine just gifted or is this normal or what, thanks! Nice vid
@TheDave3334 жыл бұрын
Kuhli loaches are normally pretty shy and you don't see them very much, but every once in a while, they do this thing where they are out and about all day long swimming around like crazy! I've seen them swim around like crazy for days and days!!! It happens a lot when I do a big water change. They also mate in a similar fashion where they swim up and down for long periods of time, but this is done in pairs or in groups. As long as it's eating normally, I wouldn't worry too much. :-)
