Kuhli Loach

Pangio kuhlii

Why We Love This Fish

  • Verified shrimp-safe species
  • Quarantined before shipping
  • Stunning in planted tanks
  • Peaceful community fish

Kuhli Loaches (Pangio kuhlii) are peaceful eel-like bottom dwellers that spend much of the day under cover and become more active during feeding and lower-light periods.

They are social, prefer soft substrate, and need secure hiding places and a tight lid.

Care Notes

Provide fine sand, multiple hiding places, and a secure lid. Feed direct sinking foods after lights dim.

Keep at least 4–6 for more natural behavior.

Why We Love This Fish

01

Distinctive Eel-Like Shape

Their long, banded bodies make them unlike almost any other common community fish.

02

Peaceful Social Bottom-Dweller

Groups are more confident and visible than isolated individuals.

03

Most Active in Low Light

Their behavior becomes especially interesting around dusk and feeding time.

Build a Better Aquarium

Plants That Pair Perfectly

Live plants give nano fish cover, reduce stress, and create a more natural aquarium. They help break up sightlines, provide shelter for shy fish, and support a healthier planted tank.

Add live plants to create cover, improve water quality, and build a healthier aquarium for your fish.
