Loaches Online Forum

HI all iv got 1 weather loach had him a while now and only had 1 because he was the last 1 there anyway i was looking at getting a few more after reading they liked being in groups (was told in the shop there loners) iv since visited a pet shop and seen a kuhli there on his own so i was wondering can i put these 2 together thanks for help in advanced

Kuhli loaches want higher temperatures than weather loaches. I'd hold off until you find other weather loaches... Or get two tanks going, of course.

5starred,
Dojo's are generally kept in cold water tanks with a temp range of 55-77.
Khulli's are kept in tropical tanks with a prefered temp range of 78-82.
So if I were you I wouldn't mix and match.

Get More than one tank and then get multiples of each of these fish, since they like friends.

I had a lone Dojo for a few weeks, when I moved her to a new tank, but I needed to wait to move the others. When I reunited them, they had a big Dojo party and swam all over the tank together. They are all still literally joined at the hip. They almost always lay on top of each other.

I also bought three tiny Kuhlies out of six that were at a store. They were all 2-3 cm. When my first three settled in, I went back and picked up the other 3. There were three weeks between. They seemed very happy to be reunited, and there's much more swimming and hanging out together. Last night I saw all three out and swimming together.

thanks guys for your speedy replys felt sorry for him on his own but he gets on with his goldfish buddys in the tank with him. the wife just went to pets at home and theres 2 weather loaches there but they want £14.00 ($28 ish) each yeah thats what i thought i only paid £3 ($6) for the 1 i got now so il have to wait till i go into the city thanks again
