Black Kuhlii Loach Group

he Black Kuhlii Loach, scientifically known as Pangio oblonga, is a slender, eel-like freshwater fish native to Southeast Asia. These loaches are typically dark brown or black in color, with distinctive orange or yellow barbels around their mouths. They are nocturnal and often hide during the day, making them intriguing additions to aquariums with plenty of hiding spots and subdued lighting.

When kept in groups, Black Kuhlii Loaches exhibit fascinating social behaviors, often seen wriggling and exploring their environment together. They are peaceful by nature and can coexist with a variety of tankmates, but it’s essential to ensure they have sufficient hiding places to reduce stress.

To keep them healthy and happy, provide a well-maintained aquarium with soft, sandy substrate and a balanced diet that includes sinking pellets, frozen or live foods, and occasional vegetable matter. With proper care, a group of Black Kuhlii Loaches can be an engaging and low-maintenance addition to a community aquarium.
