Are khuli loaches catfish?

Well I've got 6 if they are and:

1x female bronze cory

3x peppered cories (family of Mum, Dad and baby)

1x female BN

Are khuli loaches catfish?

Nope, they're loaches

I have..

1x Bristlenose

3x Pygmy Cories

1x Otocinclus

I know.. it's a pretty sad collection of catfish..

I think you need some more cories and otos, they both like to be in groups or around 6 or more

Yeah I know.. I originally had 5 cories but 2 carked it.

I've only ever had the one otto though

I would like a school of oto, but at $15 each i cant afford 5 or 6 right now, same goes for pygmy cories, so i havent got any of either YET.

Nope, they're loaches

Well that's what I thought but someone else posted how many loaches they had so thought I would as well

IMO otos are a great investment... unlike bristlenose they'll keep eating algae even with age..... they can be sensitive when first adding to the tank so acclimitise them over an hour..... i had 4 for years and years! never saw mine spawning but some people have had theirs do it. i saw an amazing video on youtube of them collecting them in the wild.......a bit net filled with thousands of them!

anyone here with a tiger shovel nose

or a red tail cat

i will pay $500 for them

thanks

or any large cats like that with really big mouths
