Khuli Loaches And Barbs?

  • #1
So I'm trying to make a jurassic tank as seen here:
New Jurassic Rhombo Barb 29g

And the center piece fish are the barbs of course, but I really think a nice wiggler group of khulis would look great in the tank.
I was curious if anyone has had barbs with khulis before, or if others think that the barbs will eat them.

I know the best way to figure it out is to try, but I'd like to know if others have tried before as well.

There will be many more hiding spaces in the tank when it's planted, I'm getting a variety of taller plants and others from MD_Plants.

I never had a problem with that combo. Tiger barbs and stripey kuhlis make a nice theme!

I don’t think I saw what kind of barbs you’re using so, What kind of barbs?

They're called Rhombo barbs, or snakeskin barbs.
They're said to be even more peaceful than some of the more picky barbs.
I plan on having 7 of them.

Funny I thought about asking you on another post if you thought the khulis might work with my barbs.
I had khulis in the past but I felt they were outcompeted, and when they got ich they didn't make it.

Just read a bit about them. They should be fine together, since they aren’t too aggressive. Kuhlis hide most of the time so you barely see them. Make sure to drop the food(I use shrimp pellets) at night, when the lights go off.

I was hoping so.
I wasn't sure if they would suck them up like I've heard other fish do!
I thought their bands would go really well together, and they're both almost orangey.
Hoping to get a pretty nice amount of them for the tank.
Very excited for this!

I would think that would only happen with bigger fish. Snakeskins can only get up to 2 inches, basically nano fish. Anyway, I’m sure they’d complement each other
