Kuhli Loaches

I promise, this is my last post for today (sad, I know, three in one day). But I just had to tell you how much I love my two little fishies, Oscars (we can't tell them apart, so they are both Oscar). They a kind of loach called a Kuhli (alternatively, Coolie) Loach. I just love them because, yes, they have little whiskers like a cat (yep, the girls get their cat-loving from me). They also have some quirky personalities. I often find them in the evenings and night decorating the tank plants like so much tinsel, or with half of them sticking out of the rocks like a flag. Some people may find they creepy because they are long and have snake-like bodies, but you just have to look at their cute faces to see they are no snake. Besides, they are bottom-feeders and are good at cleaning up the bits of food the tetras drop... :)
