Kuhli Loaches are one of those fish that might be a little weird looking at first… but in the best way possible! They have a long, eel or snake like body and they wiggle all over the tank. Honestly so fun to watch once they get comfortable!
These peaceful bottom dwellers spend most of their time exploring the substrate, hiding in plants, and cruising around driftwood or caves. Kuhli loaches are also natural scavengers, so they’ll help clean up leftover food around the aquarium. Just keep in mind, they still need to be fed a good diet of their own!
Kuhli Loaches do best in groups of 6 or more.When they’re kept in a group, they feel safer, act more naturally, and you’re way more likely to see them out and about.
For the best kuhli loach care, we recommend a soft sand substrate as they like to burrow, peaceful tank mates, and plenty of hiding spots. Plants, driftwood, caves, and leaf litter are all great options. Since they like to burrow and dig around, sand is usually a better choice than rough gravel.
With the right setup, Kuhli Loaches can live for years and make such a fun addition to a peaceful community aquarium!
Neat lil guys added couple more to my existing group. Cute lil guys came in looking healthy active juveniles, dissapeared into the semi heavy planted tank , have only seen the new guys just starting to hang out with the group the last few days. Im sure once they grow some they will be more visible, mostly nocturnal but they have a few spots they like to hang in the tank in day time. My adults in picture cant tell if the one juvenile is behind the one at the moment of photo.
My order of Kuhli Loaches arrived on time and even an included an extra friend. After acclimation, they explored the tank and laid low for a few days, as is their nature. After establishing feeding times and a low-light setting, they come out and dig in the sand regularly. Beautiful addition to the shrimp and snails in the tank. Thanks Flip Aquatics!
Happy with my purchase, my loaches are healthy and thriving!
I ordered 3 Kuhli loaches for my community tank. All three arrived quickly and in good health. They’ve been such a fun addition to the community. I love them so much
We added a few more kuhli loaches to our shrimp and Endler tank. They have been healthy and active! They are fun to watch when we catch them outside of their hiding spots!
Ordered 3 pangio Kuhli and only 1 of the 3 that arrived seemed to be pangio kuhli.
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.
Very sweet, cute, and goofy fishes. They are my favorite and are currently providing company to my other K. Loaches.
Loaches were all well packed and came through in terrific shape. They were healthy and active from the git go after acclimatization and are doing so well I may buy another batch of them.
Need more of these guys cleaning the bottom!
Another great specimen! Thank you!
I added 3 loaches from Flip to the group I got from a local fish shop. I rarely see the ones from my local shop but the ones from Flip have been exploring and are much bolder. I’ll definitely be ordering more.
This was my first time buying from flip aquatics. I was very nervous since I had never ordered fish in the mail before. Worry not! They pack the fish as carefully as humanly possible. There's still always going to be a chance of a fish passing away during transport but they do everything in their power to prevent it. My 3 little guys got here safe.
So far, I’ve had an amazing experience with flip aquatics. I just received my loaches today, they seem to be in great health! This is my second time ordering but first time ordering fish. I like the way they were packaged and I actually received them sooner than I thought! I’m already awaiting my third order!
The site is plastered with 100% Guaranteed Live Arrival images leading most customers to believe that they keep their word.
I ordered 2 fish via Priority Mail 2 Day Shipping on December 18th, they arrived DEAD ON ARRIVAL January 5th. 18 Days after my order date.
I emailed customer service and was then blamed for not paying $30 for overnight shipping. Again and again I was told that it was my fault and notified after the fact that those 100% Guaranteed images only apply to animals sent via overnight shipping.
This must happen all the time and the keep your money and do not give refunds!
Take your business elsewhere! They are making a fortune sending you dead fish and charging ridiculous amounts of money for individual shrimp. Support your local aquarium shop.
Hi Jeremy!
We are so sorry your fish arrived DOA. We do our absolute best to ship healthy animals in the safest way possible. We use styrofoam boxes, individually wrap each box with foam, and include heat packs when needed. To ensure the safety of the fish we only guarantee their live arrival through Overnight 1-day shipping. You placed your order on the 18th of December. At this time we had a huge banner on the website that stated that we were holding all orders until January 4th due to the post office having issues with lost, delayed, and late packages. Your order shipped on the 4th with the USPS Priority mail you chose and arrived to you on the 7th. As we stated in our emails, our fish are only guaranteed with overnight shipping. We emailed you an image of the Kuhli Loach product page on our website where is says in bold italics that fish are only guaranteed through overnight 1-day shipping and all other methods of shipping void our live arrival guarantee. We also showed you our Live Arrival Guarantee policy under 'Info' on our website. All other livestock (shrimp, snails, plants, and crabs) are 100% guaranteed with Priority and Overnight mail. With all that being said, we still offered to ship you new fish if you would pay for the appropriate shipping method. In your second email to us you called us the 'C' word and told us to 'F*** off.' After all this we still wanted to help you with your fish and make sure you were satisfied with your purchase with us. After you cussed at us through email more we simply asked if we could talk on the phone to come to a resolution and you refused. We still would like to help you resolve this issue and would be more than happy to speak over the phone as we stated in our last email. Please call us at (330) 469-6345 and we will do our best to help you.

Ordered four for my colony. Clear shipping policy and procedures, arrived alive and frisky in expected time frame, well worth the money. Thank you.
Excellent quality livestock, arrived healthy and active. The website was super informative and easy to navigate, and the customer service team was friendly and responsive. Great all around experience!
These loaches arrived healthy and active. I would like to add some to my other aquarium when they become available again!
Exactly what I ordered. Healthy and happy khuli loaches. Thank you!
The kuhli’s arrived in great condition. Very healthy tiny guys.
One of these guys is in constant motion. It’s joined occasionally by a second one. The third remains largely hidden. Interesting creatures.
Helpful staff. Good, healthy fish on arrival.
The Kuhli Loach arrived and were/are very active (although small). Thanks so much.
Flip,
Ordered 7 Kuhli loach and all arrived alive. My gripe is they were all barely over an inch and you put them all in ONE small bag. Made it difficult to split among tanks.
Also surprised it took 2 days to arrive when I'm only 2 hrs south.
Great loaches. Still very active and doing a great job keeping the tank clean
