Anybody keeping these dwarf kuhli loaches? or ever seen them avialable in the UK? It seems that the wholesaler aquariumglaser sells them, does anybody know of UK suppliers that are able to source fish from them?
Wildwoods showed them on a stocking list in November, might be worth giving them a call.does anybody know of UK suppliers that are able to source fish from them?
can't thank you enough for this!Wildwoods showed them on a stocking list in November, might be worth giving them a call.

I will be sure to keep you posted if I find some. Found a guy in Scotland who can get fish from aquarium glaser in germany but glaser just informed me they stopped carrying these guys two weeks ago. Kew aquatics don't have them on their indonesian import list either and said the best bet is just to buy enough kuhlis that you're bound to get a few but that seems like quite a gamble. Fingers crossed for wildwoods. I still have a couple pairs of scarlet badis available for you too if you want them at any point castle.If I makes the order easier/more enticing for you/LFS @louis_last id take 20 of them
Off their Facebook page.where did you get that stocking list for Wildwoods?
Off their Facebook page.
Lol, I'm not overly savy with social media myself mate and I'm struggling to re find the post on their Facebook page.
Have you tried the pre t'internet approach of giving them a tinkle on the old dog and bone.
I did. I have seven of these now all from wildwoods. They're really cool fish, I haven't kept regular kuhlis for comparison but as far as I can tell these ones are more or less identical in terms of behaviour just significantly smaller. They're quite shy and tend to spend most of the day in communal burrows that they excavate under pieces of hardscape or slithering about among the roots and rhizomes of a big clump of Bolbitis. They come out for feeding though and can't resist any kind of worm. They will also dig very effectively for grindal worms and the like that work their way into the substrate but eat hikari micro pellets and brine shrimp eggs too. I'm hoping I might be able to breed them at some point.@louis_last did you ever manage to source these at all mate?

I couldn't agree more! they are really great, for anyone reading this there seems to be a guy called Keith there who is the one to talk to. Really helpful and knowledgeable.Thanks Louis, yep I did manage to source some from Wildwoods myself, along with some P. alternans:

I must say Wildwoods managed to get almost all my stock in on request, they are the best fish supplier I've used.

Wooki how have you found the cuneovirgata? do they seem to socialise with the alternans? These are great pictures.
