om...
I have a bunch of questions, so here we go:
What should I feed them, I have heard they sccept flakes then I hear
only live food then i hear they will eat bth. What should I be feeding
them?
Anything they like. Mine like shrimp pellets among other things

I am afraid that during a water change they will getsucked up by the
siphon and I will unknowigly throw them out with the bad tank water.
How could I avoid this?
They move pretty fast when you stir up the gtravel. It is not likey tobe a
problem.

How can I prevent them from entering the filter?
Cover it with a sponge or some sort of pre- filter.
Do they have any unique needs?

Do I need to put sand in the tank or will they be fine with gravel
(not circular or round gravel)?

They love fine well rounded sand. I used to have some in a tank with #30
sand. They would burrow like gophers .. at top speed too. Of course in
those days one was named dufus .... he thought that if his head was buried,
so was the rest of him, Always hid with it's tail sticking out. They tend
to hide under "bushes" in my flourite tank but burrow under the finer Red
Sea substrate in another tank.

What kind do you have?. My LFS has had black ones lately.

HOW TO COOK KUHLI LOACH.

I was given this recipe by a friend who was both a michelin cheif and
fishkeeper who once had more kuhli loach than he could manage. Due to the
flavour of kuhli loach it took him 4 years to perfect this technique.

Heres what you do.

1. Find a clean, unpolluted beach with a southwesterly breeze and plenty
of sandunes with scrub grass growing on the southerly sides.
2. look for some driftwood. Find a nice piece of flat wood with a little
but not too much algae.
3. Take the driftwood home and clean it, scrub it gently so as not to
remove all the algae, rinse clean with boiling water and ensure there is no
sand or barnacles.
4. take enough tin foil to cover the driftwood 4 times over and lay it
out, place the driftwood in the centre.
5. Remove the loaches head just behind the gills, gut it and cut the
fins off.
6. Place the loaches on the wood, if your wood is 9-10 inches long then
you will need about 4*4 inch loaches spread along the length, season these
with sea salt, pepper, grated garlic and lemon juice.
7. Gently tease the edges of the foil up crinkle it together to form a
loose parcel with plenty of air inside.
8. Place parcel in the middle of a hot oven (200c - gas mark 6) and bake
for 30 minutes.
9. Carefully (it will be hot) tear the foil away from the parcel, make
sure the loach is cooked through.
10. To serve, scrape the loach off the wood and into a bin or waste
disposal unit.
11. Eat the wood, its got more flavour.

This is the only fish joke to ever make me spurt guiness out of my nose at
the pub. The guy telling me it used the pretence of it being an old chinese
recipe for goldfish. He went into such detail and was so believable that
when he said the punchline I nearly fell off my chair... not as funny in
text form tho :/

Sorry, but the joke is as bad tasting as the guiness....
