Black Khuli Loach (Pangio oblonga)
The Black Khuli Loach is a unique and fascinating bottom-dwelling fish, recognized for its dark, slender body and eel-like appearance. Known for its nocturnal and shy nature, this loach is a peaceful tankmate that enjoys burrowing into the substrate and hiding in caves or plant roots. It’s an excellent scavenger, helping keep the tank clean by eating leftover food and detritus.
