Kuhli loaches want higher temperatures than weather loaches. I'd hold off until you find other weather loaches... Or get two tanks going, of course.

5starred,
Dojo's are generally kept in cold water tanks with a temp range of 55-77.
Khulli's are kept in tropical tanks with a prefered temp range of 78-82.
So if I were you I wouldn't mix and match.

Get More than one tank and then get multiples of each of these fish, since they like friends.

I had a lone Dojo for a few weeks, when I moved her to a new tank, but I needed to wait to move the others. When I reunited them, they had a big Dojo party and swam all over the tank together. They are all still literally joined at the hip. They almost always lay on top of each other.

I also bought three tiny Kuhlies out of six that were at a store. They were all 2-3 cm. When my first three settled in, I went back and picked up the other 3. There were three weeks between. They seemed very happy to be reunited, and there's much more swimming and hanging out together. Last night I saw all three out and swimming together.
