Answer 3

my kuhli loaches really enjoy the shrimp pellets i just got them the other day

also tropical algae pellets are highly enjoyed by them as well

and whatever flake food which does find the bottom of the tank will be eaten by them

Answer 4

ok, 2 things.

1.More kuhli loaches, I know this sounds surprising, but kuhli loaches are schooling fish. They like to be in groups of 3 or more. I never knew this when I bought my kuhli, but once I upgrade him to a 37 gallon with some buddies I am sure he will be happier along with some platy and molly friends!=)

2.You can buy algea and shrimp tablets. Since they are omnivourous scavengers, just drop in 1 algea one and the next day 1 shrimp one and he will have a balanced diet.=)

Answer 5

I love my little kuhli loach, he's a wild swimmer and looks like a little black eel. And he has such cute little whiskers! Here's what I do. Cut a little tiny piece of a cucumber about half a dime sized, then tie it to a little rock and put it in his favorite hiding space. he only munches on it at night. I do the same thing with shrimp pellets.
