a couple questions

i have two kuhli loaches in a 10 gallon tank that has sand. i want to move them to my 25 tall and get two more. it has small gravel substrate, shown in this picture.

Click the image to open in full size.

will they be ok in that?



and another question, can these loaches be kept with a community betta?

I would think they'd be fine CoffeeBean. Unless they really like or need to burrow.

oh and i have normal sized gravel, they do fine, but just remember these fish have no defense against a predator.

I wouldn't keep kuhli loaches with bettas if I were you. The kuhli's wouldn't be able to defend themselves if the betta decided to attack them.

well in a way you are right, it also depends on the attitude of the betta, and kuhlis are great hiders, but they are quite blind.
