Kuhli Loaches

[Nosphaer]

So, I brought in four kuhli loaches today, and they seem to be doing decently. I just walked out of the room a moment ago (it was right around 11PM at the time), and turned the lights on by accident, and I saw two kuhlis that were exploring together land down to the sand to hide.

They're so cute...! Mine are the banded variety.

Sorry if that was vague... I mean that they look like the loach pictured here http/witnessthis.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/banded-kuhli-loach.jpg

They're that variety.

Oh right that is either a panjio kuhli or panjio seminicta (more likely seminicta) . Basically a kuhli loach. there so closely related its very hard to tell the difference. the black ones are a different type of loach altogether and not just a colour strain although they are from the pangio complex and very closely related to the kuhli loach

I thank you both! I'm glad to know more about my new fish.
