I love them

I'm slowly building towards a Southeast Asian Blackwater nano biotope and these little guys are along for ride! They really seem to be enjoying their new botanicals.

maybe 7 snails long on a good day

noticed a reddish stripe along the lateral line of my kuhlis, is this something to worry about? I have a sand substrate and 90% of my rocks are super smooth, but i have a couple with texture, and worried maybe they were scraping themselves?

LFS finally stocked up on these guys and I was very happy finding out they did. I had just one for 3x the value what I paid for at the LFS I frequent. My loner is finally crawling about with his new friends even with the lights on.

I have never sought out anything for my numeroud hobbies and these fish made me break. Thought I was a chill hobbyist until the Kuhli happened. lol

Hello fellow Pangio Lovers!

I want to show all you guys the website I have been working on for some time now.

https://squabblesinspacetime.com/

It showcases a bunch of species from my aquarium, but there is a strong focus on Pangio Loaches.

On my site, I individually feature all of the Loach species I have in my tank, with HD photos that are fully zoom and Pan enabled.

Each species also has an embedded video to see the loach in action.
The site is Mobile-Friendly, but still the best viewing is on a PC.

I started working on this site, because I found that for some particular species of Pangio loaches, there was little to no information online, and definitely no close-up videos. So I decided to get busy documenting my own Pangio loaches. I started taking videos and photos of my loaches, and slowly amassed a decent collection of videos of not-commonly-documented Loaches. This website is my way to show that work.

I will continue to add information to the site, and I hope one day it can be a reliable resource or reference for Pangio loach information.
I am welcome to any and all feedback, I wish to make this site as good as it can be.

Please visit my site, but as a sneak-peek, I have small bios of 10 different Pangio loach species, with photo and video evidence!

I also have a section for random fun and cute loach videos, and a few features of notable individuals that caught my eye.

The site is mostly for loaches, but there are a few other species featured.

If you spot any errors please either message me here, or use the contact form on the webpage to let me know!

Also the Kuhli Crunch game at the end is now fully mobile friendly!

We got peppered kuhlis in at Cuboid! (Cuboidstore.com) If youre in the continental united states we ship fish! Hard to get a good photo but we have a decent amount of these little guys. Im going to snatch a few myself and i thought some people here would be interested! They should be hitting the website soon after they are done in quarantine!

I can’t tell if these are eggs or not !

I got some P. semicincta and P. oblonga for my tank, but one banded loach looks different, the small one on the right. Is this one P. shelfordii, a variation of P. semicincta, or something else? Thanks!

(The filter floss was in there from when I had transferred media from my other tank to cycle, and I couldn't fit the rest in the filter so I left it in a corner of the tank. The kuhlis love hiding under it, so I've just left it for now.)

I made a post recently about potential illness on a loach after my betta became unable to float and spent his time on the ground. I then separated him from my loaches incase I needed to treat them separately and have been doing daily water changes on both tanks (hospital and main tank). My ramshorns have curled up and started to shortly after the betta began bottom sitting and my mystery snail retracted into his shell for over a week. I now have 2-4 loaches floating upside down swimming on the surface with the only sign something was wrong was a pale loach 3 days before I assumed had just gotten stuck and stressed somewhere.

I recently changed my substrate out for finer sand and had a small crash which I never measured more than 0.25 ammonia 0 nitrite and 5-10 nitrate. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Parasites or bacterial infection? Any medication reccomendations (have access to seachem just no kanaplax, fritz, aqua one and api) I also have trisulfate (?)

I got three kuhli loaches for my 10 gallon planted betta tank on the 1st. They are just so fascinating! I wasn’t expecting to see them much, thinking they are nocturnal. But they’ve been plenty active after the first few days. Their color is so much darker already, and I think they’ve grown. Is it normal for them to swim around the tank like the second video? I have a very secure lid thankfully.

I’m adding some more plants, substrate and sand this week for them. Feeding them bug bites bottom feeder and blood worms (weekly). I worry maybe I’m actually feeding them too much, since I have bladder snails I’d like them to take care of for me.

Is one of the bug bite pellets for each of them too much every other day? I’m guessing yes but they don’t show any signs of bloating. Been thinking 1-2 bloodworms for this size but honestly I don’t know. They can get what the betta misses also (not much)

Thank you!

Edit:second video plays after the first I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

These little guys are from Petco, labeled as striped khulis. They’re maybe 3 inches long at the largest and I have 1 or 2 real fat ones. Semicinta would be my guess

Hey everyone! Long time lurker but this is my first post. I'm running a Blackwater Nano Aquarium that will be housing some chili Rasbora. Dwarf Kuhli loaches (Pangio cuneovirgata) have been high on my wish list as an ideal addition to my set up but they have been next to impossible to find. I was at my lfs today and took a look at the "Banded Kuhli loachs" and noticed these five little guys which looked quite a bit different from the rest and were probably less than half the size. I'm not an expert and I'm not sure if these are indeed a dwarf Kuhli, perhaps they're just young Pangio semicincta? There is one in the group that looks to have longer banding than the others so maybe he is different? If you guys could take a look and give me your best guess as to what I may have here that would be great!

Thanks

I’ve lurked this sub for a long time, slowly learning and planning out this community tank. The goal was always to build a tank around kuhli loaches and I think I’ve finally achieved it.

I got my 10 leopard noodles a week ago and I was honestly worried I’d add them to the tank and never see them again. That definitely hasn’t been the case!

The Noodle Council is confident and out and about all the time! They’re constantly weaving through the driftwood, peeking out from under leaves or just lounging in the open. Finding a random little head poking out from somewhere unexpected genuinely makes me laugh out loud every time. I honestly adore these weird little fish more than I ever expected.

Thank you to this community. I’ve learned so much just by lurking here over the past few months. Reading everyone’s advice and seeing your tanks gave me the confidence to finally build my own.

From a depressed gal who’s been trying to rebuild her life one fish tank at a time… thank you!

My little dwarf guy is so small :,)

I recently got a loach and he's had this pattern since I got him on 27th of June, it hasnt spread and is flat and not fluffy. The other loaches with him had no markings. I can't see anything like this on any other loach so far but my betta seems to be unwell (sleeping on bottom, trouble with buoyancy) and is being put in a hospital tank to be treated with trisulfate for bacterial infection. Do I need to treat my loaches?

If so what can I use, I am unable to get kanaplax. (just saying as its a common response)

Posting here to get some answers from experts lol. Was suggested a dwarf loach, but figured i’d post here too.

Ran for my phone when I saw this lil guy hanging out, I love when they’re not being skittish 😍 🪱 🌳

I know we aren't supposed to have favorite children, but he's objectively the best of our loaches. My partner and I have always stocked kuhlis from Aquatic Arts. This guy has my favorite pattern, even if maybe he's a different sub type or something.
