Any body else find these fish great? I recently had 2 but now 6 as i went out and bought 4 little ones to make up the group Smile

. they are just so fun to watch even though they dont come out very much.

Netty has 2 in her tank with the Cories. The 2 she has are very active with the light on, which is unusual. They're pretty bomb proof too....ours went through a filter crash.

Mine are not active at all in the light. I feel privelidged to see them out in the day. although i can see 2 of the new ones now :D. i only bought more becuase i heard they lived better in groups?

nice tall bushy plants like wisteria encourage them to perch like birds during the day so you can see them. Also tablet food by aquarian that stick to the side of tank, they adore this food and will come out at feeding time with your other fish. pretty good thing to see.

I have both on these on my website lol

i love my khulis great little things - agreed they adore tall plants - mine lay over they all day long lol

by **Netty** Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 1:13

I wasn't keen on them until I got a couple. They are really neat little things and always out and about :D

I had never seen khulis in the lfs until about a month ago when there was one in a tank with flying fox's. I went to the lfs on tuesday and they had about 100 really fat ones so I had to buy 3, only cost me a fiver.

The 2 i origanally had are bulky but the 4 new ones are like little worms really thin. Mine were £1.95 each Smile

Any one heard of the Jumbo Khuli? we have one at work and hes about 4 - 5 inches long.

by Guest Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 10:47

gaint khuli are available and tend to be the bronze or black versions. Get to about 6-8 inches long and really really really fat , look like skinny weather loaches. :D

by **Nath J** Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 10:48

Yeahh, the one at work is striped. i would like one but cant find any around let alone a giant stripey one Sad

by **lilacamy931** Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 14:46

Never had khulis! They look very cute when seen them and sound interesting to watch. Smile

by **Nath J** Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 15:17

You should get some their great little additions to any tank Smile

by **lilacamy931** Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 16:04

They sound lovely (and as always tempted) but doubt they would fit in any of my tanks happily, plus lots of rough gravel, then again am thinking of replacing as have spare coral sand from big tank and it looks loads nicer!

by **Nath J** Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 16:08

The tank mine are in has just the normal gravel. I know its not ideal for them but i have a lot of cover and hiding places in their for my plecos so they seem very happy hiding under logs and plants. They also as Daz mentioned like to spend alot of their time in amoungst plants, so they dont nesserserily (spelling?) need a substrate like sand. Just my opinion after keeping them for a while :D

by **lilacamy931** Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 16:10

Ah that is interesting to know! What size is your tank? Were two ok on their own? Bet the 6 together look great!

by **Nath J** Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 16:21

The tank is 3ft. the 2 on their own did fine together, they were together in my tank for about 6 months together. i wasnt really on the look out for any more, i just happened to see them in my lfs that never has them in so i took all 4 stripey ones. Yeahh they do look great together they all inter-tangle with each other :D the new ones are soo small compared to the origanal 2, but they should soon grow.

by **lilacamy931** Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 16:33

Aw that sounds brill, any pics loll

by **Nath J** Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 16:35

I will try later, but they have a tendency to hide when i go near the tank Sad

so will have to be sneaky Twisted Evil

by **lilacamy931** Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 16:46

LOL sneaky is always the best!

by **Nath J** Thu 13 Aug 2009 - 17:24

Indeed

by **lilacamy931** Sun 16 Aug 2009 - 18:43

Well due to Daz now proud owner of 3 of these little guys, they mostly hiding for now, but two have ventured about abit and seem very comical already, tried tablet on side of tank but may need to take out later as it is dissolving into a mess! Thought it may entice but prob too soon lol.
