Kuhli Loach

The Kuhli Loach, also known as Pangio Kuhlii by its scientific name, is a fantastic freshwater fish for those looking for a peaceful addition to their aquarium. Kuhli Loaches are natural scavengers, eating up all sorts of things to keep your aquarium clean, and with an average lifespan of 10 years, you'll be enjoying their company for a very long time.

What do Kuhli Loaches eat?

We provide our Kuhli Loaches with a premium NorthFin mix that includes everything from the NorthFin Bundle. This blend features NorthFin Community, Veggie, Kelp Wafers, and Bug Pro, ensuring a balanced and nutritious diet.

What are they like?

The Kuhli Loach is a real night owl. They are active mainly at night and can peacefully co-exist with most other fish. During the night, they will look for food that sunk to the bottom of the aquarium. On top of that, their natural curiosity will drive them to explore any crevices and caves that might be around in their habitat.

The ideal conditions for the Kuhli Loach

Despite the fact that these fish are scavengers, they still require a relatively clean, well-oxygenated tank. They highly prefer a soft substrate, as it makes searching for food more manageable, so sand or fine gravel would be best. The water should be soft, slightly acidic and at a temperature of 73 – 86 °F, as these are tropical fish. Further, you should make sure that there is moderate lighting in their habitat.

    I got two new loaches to keep my remaining few company. They've been in quarantine for a week and show no signs of illness and have been seen darting around like you'd expect. As a bonus, one of them has a very cool pattern.

    Great addition to my tank!

    I recently added a Kuhli Loach to my freshwater aquarium, and it’s been a fantastic addition!

    The Kuhli Loach adjusted well to my tank environment and gets along great with my Green Neon Teras. It helps keep the substrate clean by scavenging for leftover food, which is a bonus.

    Overall, a great choice for anyone looking to add a unique, low-maintenance bottom-dweller to their community tank!

    I love this little guy and his perpetual zoomies. This fish makes a very interesting addition to my tank. He gets along well with the merah raspboras and the blue velvet shrimp that live in the tank.

    Such a treat to watch! When we got him, he was tiny, but healthy and active. We now have three and hoping to add more!
