Do green kuhli's exist?

Post by ensign_lee » Thu Jun 28, 2007 9:29 am

At one of the LFSs, there were these itty bitty little green things that were advertised as green kuhli loaches. They were interspersed with a few itty bitty striped kuhli's as well.

Do these exist, or were they misclassified?

Also, by itty bitty, I mean like about 2", 2.5" long. Skinny as a dry thin spaghetti noodle.

I wonder if this is a new trade name for Pangio anguillaris?

There is a greenish tint there somewhere ...

Indeed most likely the Pangio anguillaris. Here's another one of mine.
