Spiny Eels and Kuhli Loaches

[kittylikesfishy]

I'm setting up what I was told was a 40 gal. aquarium. It's four feet long by 18 x 12 so whatever that is. I'm putting one or a group of spiny eels depending, not sure yet. I already have some kuhli loaches that are full length in a 30 gal. I wasn't going to put them together but I thought maybe it would be okay. Just wanted some opinions,thank you!

Yes, they will be fine together.

Sandy substrate, and make sure the loaches aren't small enough for the eels to eat.

What kinda of spiny eels? I wouldn't mix a larger eel like tire track or fire eel with kulhis but peacock or zigzag should be alright.

I keep khuli loaches together with my zig-zag eel and they are fine together. I wouldn't mix any of the larger eels with khuli loaches though. Anything the eels can fit in their mouth will most likely end up in there.

I was planning on having zig zags or zebra spiny eels. Of course my substrate will be sandy! Thanks everyone so much for your help. I didn't think I could keep them together and now I know. Yay! The kuhlis will be full grown when they are put together.
