    Goolie Loach

    family:cobitidae

    Acanthophthalmus kuhli

    Goolie Loach

    Lenght:11cm (4.5")

    Diet: carnivorous

    Compatibility: community tank peaceful loach

    Distribution: S E Asia

    The Goolie Loach is a nice addition to a community tank. The name Acanthophthalmus means
    thorn or prickle-eye, after a spine beneath each eye.

    The Goolie Loaches is extremely hard to catch.

    The Goolie Loach's habitats are the streams in Java, Burma, Sumatra and Thailand. This fish has a
    worm like body and is a beautiful gold colour with a pinkish ventral surface. It has black bands
    vertically crossing its body, but they do not encircle the goolie loach.

    On the Goolie Loach the small eye is hidden by just one of the black bands, which are mostly split
    by a very thin yellowish line.

    If you get the Goolie Loach in the right light you can actually see the backbone and the organs.

    The Goolie Loach will stay at the lower level of the tank usually, and is quite shy. For food put live
    bloodworms (see recommended supplies) towards the open areas of the tropical tank and the Goolie
    Loach may come out for while to snack.
