Kuhlis would be the right size for your tank but they are also the right shape for your firemouths to eat. I would stick with chunkier loaches and catfish. Just my opinon.
I also have a 35 gal hex so i know stocking can be frustrating.

Was it really zebra loach (Botia striata) or zebra pleco (Hypancistrus zebra-L46)?:confused: Someone in the other thread had just confused the zebra loaches with zebra plecos I know. Hehe...:D

My opinion: Don't buy any loaches unless the tank has to be wider in length. A hex tank is not a suitable environment for loaches I'm sorry.

if you have under gravel filter I would not get kuli loaches. Mom had some years ago and they always went under the plates and died.
