About this fish

Leopard Kuhli Loach is a great pick for planted aquariums, chosen for colour, movement, and personality.

Why you will love it

  • Bottom cleaners, peaceful tanks
  • Approx size in store: 6 - 8cm
  • Works best as a feature fish with calm tankmates
  • Community (very peaceful, shy - best kept in groups of 5+)

Care requirements

  • Care level: Easy
  • Adult size: 8 cm
  • Temperature: 24 to 28°C
  • pH: 6.0 to 7.5
  • Swimming level: Bottom
  • Minimum group size: 5+
  • Substrate: Sand or smooth fine gravel is ideal

Feeding: Offer a varied diet. A quality staple (flake or micro-pellet) plus frozen foods (brine shrimp, daphnia, bloodworm) several times per week keeps colour and condition strong. For algae grazers, include wafers and blanched veg.

Compatibility: Best with peaceful, similarly sized tankmates. Avoid fin-nippers with long-finned species and avoid aggressive fish with shy species.

School of Scape quality: We select healthy fish and recommend acclimation and stable parameters for best results.
