Re: Does this behaviour mean they are happy ?

Sigh, I was afraid it would be something like that...now and then it would be nice to be able to catch whatever it is I have to catch without having to practically tear the tank apart to find the critters. Oh well, be worth it.. I think they will enjoy their new home much more than the QT and perhap...

Re: Does this behaviour mean they are happy ?

Well, their new tank is ready, and I have a nice soft substrate for them and there will be plenty of rocks and wood as well as plants to hide in/under, etc. The substrate in the QT is moonsand.. very fine, very soft. QT also has lots of plants, a big sponge filter, and a piece of wood, so they can h...

Does this behaviour mean they are happy ?

I got some new kuhli loaches a couple of weeks ago, they were sold as Black Kuhlis, though they are not a true black. No banding, dark colour. But they are certainly pangios.. anyway, they're in a QT with some Celestial danios that are also new. I see that they spend a lot of time seeming to chase e...

Re: Can gold and pangio kuhli interbreed ?

sometimes the golden form of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus called "golden kuhli loach". If so, they don't interbreed. Are you sure your "golden Pangio" are really member of the genus Pangio? A pic would be nice :) Cheers, Thomas Actually, now I've looked at the species index, I am not sure they are in...

Re: Can gold and pangio kuhli interbreed ?

Perhaps with luck one day I'll find out if they can cross breed. Though I would be best pleased if I could find some more of the black/orange banded type and keep them separately, I must say the Gold ones are quite charming and they certainly all get along with each other quite well. Anyone know how...

Can gold and pangio kuhli interbreed ?

Hi, I'm new here. I've been very fond of the kuhli loach for a very long time, and about 4 months ago set up my first aquarium in decades. It was going to be a planted tank but I found some kuhlis at the LFS and could not resist. Sadly, only 3 survived of the first 12 I got. Then I could not seem to...

Losing kuhlie loaches.. have I missed something ?

Hi, my first post here. Wish it was a happier subject. But hoping to learn more about keeping kuhlie loaches. 30 G tank, temp around 76/78 without a heater. Sponge filter and corner inside filter with filter floss and a few stones for weight, both run on air. Hood with one tube light. Circulation pu...
