Kuhli Loach Black | Pangio semicinctus

The Black Kuhli Loach Pangio semicinctus is one of those fish that makes just about any tank more fun! They are peaceful, goofy little bottom dwellers that love wiggling through plants, caves, and leaf litter looking for leftover food.

A black kuhli loach does best in a calm community tank with peaceful tank matesand plenty of places to hide. They can be a little shy at first, especially during the day, but once the lights go down you will usually catch them out cruising around with their friends

Black kuhli loaches love soft sand because they spend a lot of time digging and sifting through the bottom of the tank. Smooth gravel can work too, but stay away from anything sharp since their skin is delicate and easy to scratch!

This kuhli loach black is a great choice for beginners as long as the tank is established and water parameters stay stable. They are not here to replace tank maintenance, but they are always happy to help clean up leftover food before it gets missed.

Keep your black kuhli in a group of 6 or more as it'll help them feel safer and they'll come out more often when they're in groups
