i wouldnt think they would eat other fish, whilst still alive anyway, maybe you should have asked the shop you bought it from before putting it in your tank

Kuhli loaches are peaceful, they scavenge for food, good little waste disposal units. I've never seen them chase anything, so if it can move they should be fine. I've always kept them in my tanks, i think there cute little critters and something different.

They have a tendency to hide a lot of the time and are great escape artists, so I find them a little frustrating to keep as I never know whether to search the tank or the floor when I can't find them. Shame 'cos they're cute little things.

They will eat your shrimp, I had some in my community tank and noticed my shrimp population starting to deplete, they won't eat your mature shrimp but they will get to your baby shrimp, but then again so will guppies and mollies smile.gif
