Java (Black) Loach vs. Kuhli Loach
Posted: Wed May 26, 2010 6:59 pm
Hey all, so yesterday I went to pick up 4 Kuhli loaches I had special ordered. 
Today when I was checking them out I noticed they didn't quite look like what the regualr banded kuhli's looked like in all the pictures I had seen. So I looked them up and found the Java Loach.
I had ordered ordered the black loach thinking it was just like the regular black kuhli's with the bars. These guys are more gray and have no bars. Did I actually order the Java Loach on accident? Is the black loach actually the Java loach or is it supposed to have been the regualr banded kuhli?
I also wanted to know if they would eat veggies or fruits? I really have only previously kept pleco's so loaches are foreign to me still :]
Any other advice would be greatly appriciated!
Well any how I'm not mad, I got them for a great deal and I actually really enjoy them even if they weren't what I expected. They seem like neat little fish.
