Question
Hi,
2 Questions.
How big does the Kuli loach grow?
AND
What other fish breeds easily in captivity?

Answer
Hi Manahil,

Kuhli Loaches only grow to about 3 inches, maybe 4", but that's length. They are little, tiny fish that look like eels.  On the tips of their noses are little whiskers.  They are excellent bottom feeders and they are excellent tank cleaners.  Mine eat like piggies.  

Here are some images of kuhli loaches (they are also inexpensive).

Fish breeds who breed easily in captivity are, Cherry Barbs, Zebra Danio, Betta, and other barbs.
