{"product_id":"black-kuhli-loach","title":"Black Kuhli Loach","description":"\u003cp\u003eKuhli loaches are native to Southeast Asia. Growing up to 10cm long, these small, eel like, bottom dwelling fish, are a fab addition to an aquarium. They are peaceful, nocturnal and extremely inquisitive, fascinating to watch. Notoriously difficult to catch, they remain a very popular loach species. Kuhli loaches must be kept in groups of six or more to reduce stress. However, best kept in larger groups for confidence \u0026amp; character- the less you have together, the less likely you’ll be to see them out and about. Planted tanks and moss balls will also give Kuhli loaches shelter and increase their confidence and presence within the tank. Small, peaceful tank mates are great companions, such as cardinal tetras which enjoy similar water parameters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsider a sandy substrate to prevents damage\/wounds from trying to burrow into gravel. Be sure to secure the lid of your aquarium tight shut as they are excellent escape artisits. They have a long lifespan which is pretty cool (a decade) Kuhli loaches enjoy a varied diet. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Wirral Aquatics we feed \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ebo-foods-pro-soft-mussel-125g\"\u003eEBO Pro Soft Mussel\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ebo-foods-pro-soft-artemia\"\u003eArtemia\u003c\/a\u003e and Spirulina.
