Dougstark Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Went to local pet shop today and he had some new khuli loaches and with them came an odd one which was much longer. So of course I bought it. After some research I believe this is what it is: http://aquaworld.netfirms.com/Cyprinoid ... mus_sp.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougstark Posted June 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 horseface loach? They often look alike. No. Maybe 2mm thick and 75mm long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 an elver? (worm? piece of string?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdspider Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Glass eels (elvers) have been brought in before, listed as glass kuhlis. These would be dangerous to native fish/invertebrates if they got into the water ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenna Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I bought a couple at animates a couple years ago - they were sold as "gold kuhli loaches" and are so cool - thinner than regular kuhlis, no striped markings and they swim like mega fast eels and bury themselves in the gravel, sometimes sitting with only their heads sticking up. I think they're great and will get more when I see them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougstark Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Was going to post photo today but got home from work and found someone had broken my ranch slider and laptop and camera gone. :evil: It looked just like the one on web site posted earlier.

malevolentsparkle Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 hay i got one of those years ago - sold as a kuli too. I think mine was more brown though. skinnier and longer than a kuli but otherwise pretty similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
