Newbie - Considering khuli loaches with betta in a 27gal, any opinions or advice?
Hello,
I currently have my betta in a 10 gallons with some shrimps and snails, but I just scored a ~27 US gallon (roughly 30L x 12W x 18H inches) and am considering moving her to it and I’m thinking about various fish tankmates to have. I’ll be certain that the tank is fully cycled and everything before adding any fish.
With this setup I was considering black diamond blasting sand as substrate and a bunch of very easy plants.
I just think loaches are cute and weird little fishies that may be suitable with a betta. I’ve been doing some research on places like Spruce Pets and Aquarium Co-op and of course reddit pages, and while I feel like it might be ok, I’m kind of conflicted.
If anyone here has any thoughts or recommendations, I’d be happy to hear it!
