    Yeppers....Kuhli's are awesome. My favorite are the banded (Pangio kuhlii). Nocturnal by nature...very active at night. Set up a moon light and turn it on a night time and you'll get a good opportunity to watch their real selves.

    That sounds great, are they a very fragile fish, or are they decently hardy, im new to the business so im trying to stay away from fish that are very easily hurt/killed/bothered

    They're pretty hardy. They've got to be in a group of about four or more but they don't take up much space. When I had a good sized group they were active all day, but once my group dropped down too two they stopped being active altogether and hid all day.

    kulis are the small loaches right? I think they grow to be about 4 inches at most, they should be hardy, the pet store nvr sells fragile pets. Strange thing is my local petsmart sells BGKs and glass catfish D: I was really surprised, I wonder how much they make out of them
