Care: The kuhli loach is a scavenger so it spends much of its time digging around the bottom of the aquarium. They need places to hide. Kuhli loaches like fine substrate like sand and will sometimes bury part or all of their body in the sand. Some aquarists claim they don't see their kuhli loaches often because they are nocturnal and like to hide during the day. A way to get your kuhli loach to come out more often is to keep several of them in the same tank together.
