mynameisnobody Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Hello all, Recently I was watching a coop video (may have been top 10 loaches), but not too sure. I remember Cory saying something to the effect of he doesn’t believe kuhli loaches add any bioload at all. Obviously there must be some bioload, but nothing crazy detectable. With that said, how many would you add to a 10 gallon planted tank. It currently houses a betta and a mystery snail. I could easily relocate the mystery snail if it will be an issue. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudofish Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I think you could do 5 or 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMYVET Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 5-6 easily and get a friend for the snail. When I had one mystery snail he was ok...got him a friend and they "play" all over the tank together...LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 @sudofish @ARMYVET 5-6 is what I was thinking, just wanted some confirmation. Do you have experience with kuhli’s and snails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMYVET Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Yep….no issues were observed while I have had them. Heck I don’t think there is a mean Kuhli on the planet…lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 @ARMYVET Awesome, sounds like a plan then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewbie Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 bioload isn't the problem. The problem is tank size - it doesn't really offer enough room. Yea you could put in 5 or 10 but they really do need a large aquarium for swimming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 @anewbie Understood, hence the apprehension. I do know that in 4 months, they’d be going into a 75 gallon, but the question is, do I get them for bottom inhabitants for the 10 and then add another 10 in the 75, or just wait for the 75?

anewbie Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Your choice. It won't kill them to put them in the 10 but they can swim quite actively when they are in the mood - also they are extremely fast much faster than most common small fishes (like guppies, molly, ... ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griznatch Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Catching them in a fully planted tank can be a real challenge, just a heads-up. So, maybe get what you want to have in the 10 gallon, and just wait until the 75 is ready and add new ones to that tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
