With alternating bands of dark brown and golden-yellow stretching along its flexible body, this peaceful loach adds both charm and activity to the lower levels of the aquarium—especially in groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"931\" data-start=\"444\"\u003eKuhli loaches are nocturnal by nature, spending daylight hours tucked under driftwood, rocks, or nestled in soft substrate. They thrive in soft, slightly acidic water with plenty of leaf litter or caves to mimic their natural habitat. Though shy when alone, they become far more confident and active in groups of five or more. These gentle scavengers help keep the tank clean by foraging for leftover food, though they still need a varied diet of sinking pellets and protein-rich treats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1354\" data-start=\"933\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"947\" data-start=\"933\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e – Easy\u003cbr data-end=\"957\" data-start=\"954\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"972\" data-start=\"957\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/strong\u003e – Peaceful, social in groups\u003cbr data-end=\"1004\" data-start=\"1001\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1012\" data-start=\"1004\"\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e – Up to 4 inches\u003cbr data-end=\"1032\" data-start=\"1029\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1045\" data-start=\"1032\"\u003eTank Size\u003c\/strong\u003e – 20 gallons+\u003cbr data-is-only-node=\"\" data-end=\"1062\" data-start=\"1059\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1077\" data-start=\"1062\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e – 75°F to 82°F\u003cbr data-end=\"1095\" data-start=\"1092\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1103\" data-start=\"1095\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e – Omnivore (sinking pellets, bloodworms, brine shrimp, soft vegetables)\u003cbr data-end=\"1178\" data-start=\"1175\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1184\" data-start=\"1178\"\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 6.0 to 7.5\u003cbr data-end=\"1200\" data-start=\"1197\"\u003e🌙 The Kuhli Loach brings subtle movement, endearing behavior, and bottom-level balance to peaceful community tanks—especially when kept in a small squad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1424\" data-start=\"1356\"\u003e\u003cem data-end=\"1423\" data-start=\"1356\"\u003eThis listing is for 1 Kuhli Loach – \u003cem data-end=\"1422\" data-start=\"1393\"\u003eAcanthopthalmus semicinctus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e*\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46341407539422,"sku":"","price":4.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/Photo.png?v=1741200651","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/kuhli-loach","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
