i wouldn't worry aoubt the tigers except at feeding times ie grabbing food before the loaches.
when loaches mature they tend to get a little more grumpy
or down right nasty :wink:

modesta are far more agressive than a skunk loach.
and I think most botia are too aggressive for kuhlis.

I have had some of my kubs tear into grass like plants and nibble at cryps which end up killing the leaf
nothing like an eos which destroy a planted tank in about 6 weeks.

i once lost some sids to it. I was really sloppy doing a water change and WHAM!
lesson learned.

I always use a Qtank for one month even for plants. Why not save yourself some massive problems.
btw - I used coppersafe and it worked like a charm.

interesting
i have found that my eos HATE any loach larger than them.
not like they enjoy anyone's company but they really dislike anything larger.
we shall see how they tolerate my large and mean Syncrossus berdmorei :roll:
