Help Me Choose?

[kylealastairlove]

i just cant decide, torn between the choice!

so khuli loaches or dwarf chain loaches ? i love them both but cant make up my mind which id rather keep

so tell me what would be your choice, and tell me why that would be your choice, and thanks to anybody that replies, look forward to hearing what you think about these great fish

i myself would go for kuhli loaches i have 12 of them and they are just amazing keep my tank nice and clean

 

[kylealastairlove]

thanks dude what size tank do you have ?
just wondering so i can use it as some kind of reference as to how many i could keep in my tank :

I havnt had both species but if I were you I would go for the kuhlis, as they are easier to feed, care for, look better IMO. And will be all over your tank.

i only have a 64 litre, how many do you think i could keep, and i heard they have to be in quite large groups for them to come out of hiding and be more confident to show there selves, but im not 100% lol!

 

[Fishy friend2]

Do you have any other fish in there? If the tank is 2 feet long then I think you could have around 8-10

KUHLIS!!!

i got some T.espei harlequin only 4 at the mo, planning on upping their numbers though, one platy and one arulias barb
and thats good because my tank is just like 1cm off 2foot in length

 

[Fishy friend2]

If you have other fish then I would just get 6-7 if I were you as 6 harlequins, a platy and 6-7 kuhli loaches would be the full stocking limit

 

[kylealastairlove]

awesome well thanks for your help !

 

[Fishy friend2]

Your welcome! I can't wait to see pics of the kuhlis! They are nice little fish!

 

[kylealastairlove]

they look awesome and i cant wait to get myself some

 

[Fishy friend2]

Just a note:kuhlis need to be well fed to be happy and healthy, they love foods like catfish pellets, algae wafers, bloodworms, etc.

 

[kylealastairlove]

oh thanks for that, i hear that they like to feast on certain vegetables too?

 

[Fishy friend2]

I don't ow that that's the same with kuhlis, mostly Plecos, and ottos i think. As my kuhlis seem to enjoy much meatier foods such as live or frozen Brine shrimp, bloodworms, mosquito larvae etc.
