Diet

Carnivorous. They primarily feed on small invertebrates, worms, and insect larvae. Provide a varied diet including sinking pellets, frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small crustaceans.

Community Compatibility

Kuhli Loaches are peaceful and can be kept with other small, peaceful community fish such as tetras, rasboras, gouramis, and small catfish. Avoid keeping them with aggressive or fin-nipping species. Provide plenty of hiding spots, plants, and soft substrates for their comfort.

Gender Differences

Males are usually slimmer and smaller than females.
