Thai Giant Kuhli Loach Care
Thai Giant Kuhli Loaches are relatively easy to care for when provided with clean, stable water and plenty of hiding places. They are naturally shy and become more confident when kept with several of their own kind.
A soft substrate is especially important because Kuhli Loaches spend a lot of time searching through the bottom of the aquarium. Sand or smooth fine gravel works well.
Provide driftwood, rocks, caves, aquarium plants, and other decorations where they can hide during the day and explore at night.

- pH: 6.0–7.5
- Ammonia: 0 ppm
- Nitrite: 0 ppm
- Nitrate: Keep low with regular water changes
Feeding Thai Giant Kuhli Loaches
Kuhli Loaches are omnivorous bottom feeders and should receive sinking foods that reach the substrate.
Recommended foods include:
- Sinking wafers
- Sinking pellets
- Repashy-style foods
- Frozen bloodworms
- Frozen brine shrimp
- Daphnia
- Other small frozen or live foods
Feed after the aquarium lights go off when possible, as Kuhli Loaches are often more active during the evening and nighttime.
Aquarium Setup
A natural, planted aquarium is ideal for Thai Giant Kuhli Loaches. Use a soft substrate and provide plenty of cover.
Recommended aquarium features include:
- Fine sand or smooth substrate
- Driftwood
- Rock caves
- Aquarium plants
- Java moss
- Leaf litter
- Shaded areas
- Gentle water flow
Make sure decorations do not have sharp edges that could injure their delicate bodies.
Thai Giant Kuhli Loach Tank Mates
Thai Giant Kuhli Loaches are peaceful and work well in community aquariums with other peaceful freshwater fish.
Compatible tank mates can include:
- Tetras
- Rasboras
- Danios
- Gouramis
- Peaceful livebearers
- Corydoras
- Other Kuhli Loaches
- Small peaceful freshwater fish
- Shrimp and snails
Avoid aggressive or highly territorial fish that may compete with or harass these peaceful bottom dwellers.
Keep Kuhli Loaches in Groups
Although a single Kuhli Loach can survive, they are much more comfortable and active when kept with others. A group of 5 or more is recommended when aquarium size allows.
Keeping a group encourages more natural behavior and gives these normally shy fish greater confidence to explore the aquarium.

what people are saying...
“We just received our healthy, marbled Half Moon Betta from Coast Gem USA. Excellent communication from start to finish and the quality is amazing. They are consummate professionals who I highly recommend.”
“100% the best online store I’ve ever bought from. Excellent customer service, and reply really fast. My betta and panda corys arrived perfectly fine. They replied within about 20 minutes and refunded me.”
“I ordered a Betta back in March and he shipped out fast and arrived 2 days later healthy, gorgeous and definitely the fish I ordered. I made another order for a male Betta this week, same thing.”
“I ordered an Oranda from Coast Gem USA and the whole experience was honestly perfect. The fish showed up looking great—healthy, clean, and exactly what I was hoping for. You can tell they really took their time with the packing.”
“Great place for a vast assortment of freshwater fish. I’ve bought in-person and online, both have been great experiences with my purchases. Thank you Coast Gem, you guys are awesome!”
“This place is amazing! They have a bit of everything and they have knowledgeable staff to help you with fresh water fish expertise. Caesar was very kind and professional with getting our new cichlid peacock.”
“My giant betta showed up healthy with beautiful color. Took a few weeks. I knew from the start after reading reviews that it’s a slow process and this fish having to be imported would take a little longer but well worth the wait.”
“How this place only has 3 stars is beyond me. I did have to catch my own fish. However, the quality of fish that I got (African cichlids) was amazing!!! I paid much less than had I have purchased them somewhere else.”
“I originally had a pretty good experience ordering online from them. I ordered 5 betta and they took a little longer than expected to get to me but the quality was exceptional. I was so impressed that on a trip down to San Diego I checked them out.”
“I ordered 5 orandas. At first they were a little stressed, which is normal due to the trip since I live in Florida. After I quarantined them, they settled in beautifully and I was very happy with them.”
