Sumatran Neon Loach

The kuhli loachs is an long, slender, eel shaped loach. It is a bottom dwelling scavenger, and will feed on live and frozen foods as well as flakes.

The Kuhli Loach is generally a nocturnal and shy fish, which will like to find a hiding place during the day. However, they will readily come out at feeding time. They are very adept at locating bits of food in an aquarium, and are often included in an aquarium to ensure that there is no buildup of uneaten foods under rocks or wood.

If it is kept in small groups, the Kuhli Loach becomes a little more comfortable and will be seen swimming in and around piles of rocks, under and over pieces of driftwood or around stems of plants.

It is an excellent community fish that can be readily combined with a variety of other peacful aquarium fish species. A bizarre and unusual body shape makes these a sought-after species.
