Black Khuli Loach

Black Kuhli Loaches are social creatures and must be maintained in good sized groups ““ five would be considered the absolute minimum number. It is very important that the aquarium is well matured and has a sandy substrate in order to protect the delicate sensory barbels of these inquisitive bottom-dwelling fish. Black Kuhli Loaches will very much appreciate areas of dense planting, where they can congregate and literally “hang around” together.
