Acanthophthalmus kuhli

The coolie loach. A number of species are available commercially under this name; they differ only in the pattern of their coloration. Shy and non-aggressive, they can leap through any tiny gap in the aquarium lid. They have been successfully bred with the aid of hormones, like the labeos; otherwise they rarely reproduce in captivity. Size: 12cm
