Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes!

[aakaakaak]

Okay, not really snakes.
Kuhli loaches.
Black ones.
Four.
They're chillin' in my quarantine tank now.
I think.
I'm pretty sure they all decided to squeeze under the foam filter.
I'm tempted to add decorations.
But they're only going to be there a week or two.
From there I'm taking them to work.
The guy next to me got all excited when he saw my tank.
He wanted me to get snakes.
This is the closest I could get away with in a 10 gal.
Why did it have to be snakes!
(No pics. They're totally standard looking)

Wow. Whatch gonna do with them??

 

[aakaakaak]

Its in the sig, and the story. I'm quarantining them, then taking them to my work tank.

People always want me to add stuff to my work tank! LOL Butwith about 15 Platty fry growing out, that is all I have room for!

 

[bostonboxer]

oohh! I love these! I've always wanted a snake - they do resemble them. Hm, wonder if these would work in my 29 gal.. Off to read up!

 

[Dylandrewsdad]

Oh, and Raiders of the Lost Ark right?

 

[aakaakaak]

Good call D&D's dad! Exactly the right movie.

I love my kuhli loaches. They have so much personality and are really fast! They also eat snail eggs which is nice. Have fun with them.

you guys are nerds

 

[aakaakaak]

I prefer the term "geek" to nerd, but I'll take what I can get.

Yes, yes I am.

Oops, my bad. Sorry aak. I left my brain in my fish tank. lol!!

 

[Dylandrewsdad]

Guilty as charged Nanu! I also can quote most of the Star Wars Saga! My kids think it's cool!

So after about half a week with these little buggers......DAYUM!

I have yet to see them eat, but they still have the same level of energy as the day I got them. I feel fortunate that only one has leaped out of the QT tank so far. (Which I promptly scooped back up) Holy bajeesus, LID IS REQUIRED! They don't seem to be into Frozen Blood Worms, Tetra Flakes, Shrimp Pellets, or Hikari Micro-Wafers. I hear they're low bioload, are they just not big eaters? I'm guessing they nibble at least, but nothing major. They don't even appear to put a dent in the small amount of food provided.
