Should I be extra careful or worried about my kuhli loaches in one of my
tanks when I do gravel vaccing? I realized after my latest gravel vaccing
that I might wound or accidentally cut in half (killing it/them) kuhli
loach(es) if when I gravel vac, the edge of the gravel vac's cylinder might
hurt a "burrowed - i.e. in the gravel somewhat buried) loach and that would
be terrible. Has it ever happened to anyone? Are the kuhli's skittish enough
to stay out of that danger? Thanks, and to my knowledge this has never
happed at the very least not yet. Later!




I never "push" the vac tube in, I let it "settle" in as the gravel is
sucked up. But I power vac with a HOT Magnum I don't siphon.
