Re: whats wrong with my kuhli loaches
I actually was wondering the same thing. We have 5 kuhli loaches. We started with two of them, found out there needs to be a few more of them and added 3 more a couple weeks later. Our tank is a 20 gallon, established and stable. Nitrates, nitrites, etc are all where they should be. We do weekly water changes and water testing. Temp is 78 F. Tank mates are 6 glolight tetras and 5 guppies.
Last night I was up late with heart burn (I'm sure you wanted to know that!) and sat down in front of the tank for a minute. I had noticed that our loches were EXTREMELY active. They get excitable when the weather is going bad, and it was a bit colder and windier than normal last night, but not bad. I have never seen them quite as active as last night. Then I noticed that one of them was white/clear with a red stripe down the middle.
We bought all of them from the same store. Their original colors varied from a dark dark brown, to a creamy dark java color, and one with a decidedly red undertone. I believe its the one with the red undertone that has gone white. He was just as active as any of the rest of them. They did seem to be breathing a bit heavy, but this was also after doing several laps around the tank faster that I have even seen our tetras move.
This morning I haven't seen any of them yet, which is not unusual. 1 or 2 might come out during the day, but they all come out at night.
Any ideas as to why?
We haven't added anything to the tank, or done anything different in the last month.
