I added a Kuhli Loach to my 20-gallon tank and it has been very active and peaceful. It enjoys digging in the substrate and seems to keep the tank clean. The black and yellow pattern is striking and it fits well with my other community fish.

I’ve had this loach for three months now and it’s still active and healthy. It doesn’t stress other fish and is a good cleaner. The size is small but very noticeable in the tank.
