kuhli shoaling

[Phill D]

I have a single black kuhli loach i got at petsmart, because, well, he was by himself. Anyway right now i have him in a 5g but in a few weeks i'm gonna move him into a 10g and get some other kuhlis for him to huddle with. My question is, will the black kuhli shoal with the striped kuhlis? I like the way the striped ones look more, so i want to get those. Although not at the expense of the life style of the one i already have. Would i be better off getting, say, 3 of each? Or all black ones and no striped ones? Or does it even matter for these?

I don't know about Black Kuhlis and Striped Kuhlis, but I have the striped and spotted Kuhlis together and they don't really seem to acknowledge eachother. That being said, I don't think they care either way. I ended up with 4 banded Kuhlis and 2 Calicos. They are still comfortable enough to venture out during the day, and swim around and play.
