Dixon1990 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi people. I had 3 khuli loaches yesterday but when i moved all my fish to another tank 1 was missing. In my tank i have 2 Bristlenose 2 dwarf loaches tiger barbs and a few dwarf gourami . Anyone have any ideas on what could have happened to it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishkeepa Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 did you check the gravel thoroughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 my advice just give them time they will re apear in time just make sure there are a few scraps of food around at lights out :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatito Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 My kuhli's have started coming out each time they smell food, but if they want to hide i'm out of luck - lots of fine gravel, and 2 big peices of driftwood so holey and "awesome" that i'll have to catch and account for each fish before i take it out of the tank - the clown loaches especially like hiding in there and nearly suffocating :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 :lol: mine eat alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishkeepa Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Yes - but if Dixon transfered them from one tank to another and couldnt find one its probably in the gravel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 yea check the gravel and under plants and under big rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xmamx Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Thats good that you found the third one. I have 2 and they always hide and only come out when i put in the tablets for the pleco (i get worried they have died if i dont see them for a few weeks). The strangest thing has happened lately though, i just bought a couple of clown loachs and now the khulis are out during the day hanging about the front of the tank and sitting in the plants (they dont look stressed either). Its like they are not scared of the other fish anymore, very strange. So maybe if you get some clowns your khulis may come out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
