Today is the day people! I'll be bringing home 10 baby Kuhli loaches!

I'm getting ready to start prepping the QT.

Any last bits of advice????

I'm planning on worming with Prazi btw.

Moved to loach sub-forum.

Congrats on new arrivals.

POh khuli loaches are AWESOME!!

Make sure you have lots and lots of hiding places for them. It's weird, but the more places they have to hide, the safer they feel, and the safer they feel, the less they hide...

+1 to Above

I have approx 10 khulis in each of my tanks, the more stone piles, driftwood, plants you have the more you see them.

Elodea and cabomba are 2 plants khulis LOVE!! They will actually sit in them, like 6-10 inches off the substrate!

Thanks everyone. I've lost three in transition unfortunately.

The guy at the pet store gave me three extra "Just in case some die." That didn't sound very promising, but it looks like it was a good move. I do have the 10 that I originally wanted.

They are hanging in the QT for now. There isn't much cover in there for the obvious reasons. There is one plastic plant, and a dinosaur statue. They seem to like the statue best.

Anyway I'll be worming them with Prazi while they are in the tank. I haven't dosed it yet, but I will before I go to bed. I love them already!

I took pictures as best I could today of all the fish, and I'll post them for everyone to see tomorrow.

These guys are the best! I started with a few and the more I got the more i see them, now i have them in all of my tanks. They started off little skinny buggers and now are all growing well. So much fun to watch as they play in the bubbles or chase each other around. Good luck!!!!
