Hi, im wondering if i can keep bronze and peppered cories with Khuli loaches in a sand substrate.
also can normal khulis and black khulis live together?

can khulis eate baby bladder/ram snails? I have a lot of those so might as well take advantage of that
oh okkhuli loaches do not eat snails
High flow, with extremely good aeration/oxygen-saturated water, at a cooler temperature than most tropical fish.sorry about the dumb questions but do hillstream loaches need super high flow or just flow+ a lot of aeration
You will likely see the cories during the day, but not the kuhli loaches. Feeding can obviously be an issue if this occurs.
right, the snail problem is controllable with a net, i just feel bad throwing them out since they could probably be used in some wayThis would also depend upon the number of kuhli loach. I have 11 and they're active at least throughout daylight hours. Both corydoras and kuhli loach are cathemeral.
The issue might be more to do with overcrowding of the lower levels, given both species require numbers to thrive.
You could just leave them be...their population should reduce when they run out of food.they are a life after all and i dont want to waste it since i have no big fish
I wanted to note that as to whether you see the kuhli or not during the day seems to be random. I have had kuhli for quite a few years and in some tanks they never hide and others they are never visible. I've not found a definitive pattern with regards to tank lighthing; landscape or substrate type (dark/light) to even suggest if they will or will not be visible. Unfortunately i also don't have enough information and their source to speculate if the difference is in wild caught (majority) or tank raised. I've gotten ok at identifying some of the species but there are quite a few of them and it is not always obvious to myself what i have (pangio kuhli, pangio sem, pangio merysi (ok this one is obvious eventually), pangio ...). You can usually identify pangio sem by the broken stripes where as pangio kuhli tend to be darker and more complete but i believe there are several other species not commonly listed that differ in slight form.While it should work, I personally would not combine any loach species with cories. Kuhli loaches are less likely to be problematic, I agree, but I do not think the multiplication of different substrate-level fish a good idea generally. You will likely see the cories during the day, but not the kuhli loaches. Feeding can obviously be an issue if this occurs.
And their numbers are the same in all tanks?Anyway in 2 of my tanks they do always hide but in one of them they never hide - go figures.
Pretty much - i have 7 in one 29 where they always hide; 8 in the 29 next to it where they never hide and 8 to 10 in the 120 where they always hide.And their numbers are the same in all tanks?
I'm now wanting to know the populations of those tanks!Pretty much - i have 7 in one 29 where they always hide; 8 in the 29 next to it where they never hide and 8 to 10 in the 120 where they always hide.
