can't find Kuhlis anywhere
Hello Everyone
I haven't seen any Kuhlis in any of my LFSs in the downtown Manhattan NYC area for a couple years. Is there a scarcity of this species. Does anyone know? Has any NYC Loachers seen any around or could help me get some?

In the last few years it seems that for some reason the mortality rates during shipping for kuhlis has risen dramatically. Many shops are no longer ordering them because they got fed up with losing so many fish.
This has created a definite availability shortage compared to years ago. When you can find them they are often small and skinny looking. I even bought some superb looking specimens a year or so ago and ended up losing all of them
Kuhlis that settle in ok will live for years and are easy to keep. It just seems to be more of a gamble than it used to be in the initial stages.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Franks has a few in stock, but isn't shipping right now because of the cold.
