Is that a family? Will they hang together?

Probably not. Look at the species requirements here at Loaches.

Kuhlies are warm water fish, thriving in the upper 70s.

Weather/Dojo Loaches are cool water fish, thriving in water from the mid 70s on down. Way down.

Really not compatible at all.

Most Corydoras catfish will hang out with similar species, (spotted Cories with other spotted species and so on) but most Loaches prefer their own species, not 'similar'. Does not mean they fight, they just don't see the others as similar enough to school with.

You might try several species of Pangio: Striped, black and others. Maybe they are similar enough to work. Their needs are a lot closer, anyway.

oh....

the kuhlis are going to get their own tank then :). (A good "reason" to buy another tank lol)
And I will still get another dojo for the big tank.
Thanks!
