This is a picture of my khullie tank

This is the part they hang about most.

When I was feeding them this evening, I saw a little khullie, I've never put a khullie this size in my tank.

If you didn't add the little one, congratulations are in order!

That's a very nice tank, I bet the kuhlis love that pile of cobbles.

Hi Brian,

You may have answered this question in another thread, but I am wondering what kind of filter you have on your kuhli tank.

A hang-on-back?
Canister filter?
Sponge filter?

Thanks

loachmom,
I have an internal filter, it's an Elite, can't remember the size but it's the one recommended for the tank.
I got your link on my other thread so thanks for that.
I'M in the process of doing some research on the rivers that khullies come from, as I'm thinking of rescaping my tank.
I think I must be doing something right, don't know what it is, as I have a baby swimming about my tank at the moment.

Thanks Brian.

I hope you'll keep us updated as to what changes you make to your tank. I'd love to have baby kuhlis in my tank someday.

I'm wondering... do you have strong water flow or is the water relatively calm?

I have a suspicion that some loaches might actually lay their eggs in calmer sections of the river so the fry don't get swept away. But then again, I'm no scientist and I could be wrong.

Do khulis eat snails?

Not reliably. They would have to be extremely small snails. And the extremely small snails in my kuhli tank are doing just fine.

Rocco,
Tank is relitively calm.

CONGRATULATIONS! Its great when fish breed and even better is your not expecting or conditionaing. I have a few of these and mine havnt bread yet but they are a recent addition as a friend gave them to me as he was moving to France. they often breed in undergravel filters. i know someone who took theirs out to clean and found 30!! they started with 4!!! lol They took the filter out as was wondering why the amonia was rising! that was the problem lol

With this in mind, I think I'm putting an ant farm of tubes and the like in the substrate when I build my khuli tank

You know those little hamster tube setups... now to find a way to suspend the substrate so I can see them in there.
