Striped Kuhli Loach

Striped Kuhli Loach (Pangio semicincta)

The Striped Kuhli Loach is a fascinating and unique bottom-dwelling fish known for its eel-like body and striking black and yellow stripes. It is a peaceful and shy species that enjoys burrowing into the substrate and hiding in caves or among plants. Striped Kuhli Loaches are excellent scavengers, helping to keep the tank clean by consuming leftover food and debris. This species thrives in groups and is best suited for peaceful community tanks with gentle water flow.
