They inhabit the shallow slow-moving waters of forest streams; a similar environment to old peat swamps with black waters. These habitats are often shaded from direct sunlight by the streams dense vegetation and the tree canopy above the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s very important to keep the water clean and well-oxygenated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKuhli Loaches require a soft substrate such as sand and fine gravel mix. The water should be soft, 0-5 dGH, slightly acidic, pH 5.5-7, with moderate lighting. They are tropical fish and the temperature should be kept between 23-30°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey prefer good water movement with a turnover of at least 10 times per hour; you will need a good quality filter for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny filter you use will need a cover over the outlet and inline pipe so your Loach doesn’t swim inside and get trapped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the wild they are used to lots of vegetation so include plenty of plants. In the wild, Loaches like spending time in leaf litters so you can spread peat moss inside the aquarium to recreate this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome large rocks and a couple of pieces of driftwood can also be used as tank decoration; they will also appreciate twisted roots as a place to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake sure to have a firm cover on your tank as these fish can jump out of the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKuhli Loaches are peaceful fish. They are best kept with other small non-aggressive fish such as Corydoras, Danios, Rasboras and Tetras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey will spend most of their time swimming at the bottom of the tank, scavenging and eating the leftover food that has sunk onto the sand. Therefore ideal tank mates are those fish that occupy the upper regions of the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Cloud Mountain Minnows, Oto Catfish and shrimps like the Red Cherry Shrimp are also good tank mates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fish are at their best when kept together in a group of 6. If kept alone, they will be very shy and will hide most of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABQUATICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51491320824086,"sku":"A2086S","price":14.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/8348\/3158\/files\/pygmy-tiger-khuli-loach-pangio-shelfordi-kuhli-4cm-972.webp?v=1782979167","url":"https:\/\/abquascape.com.au\/products\/pygmy-tiger-khuli-loach-pangio-shelfordi-kuhli-4cm","provider":"abquascape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
