Food and Dietīoth the kuhli loach and betta will require a diet of sinking live food. Sand should not be too deep or cramped for the fish to move around, as this can lead to territorial disputes. Make sure that the substrate is clean, moist, and of a suitable type (kuhli loaches like gritty substrates while bettas prefer smooth surfaces). Sand Substrateīoth the kuhli loach and betta will need sand to live in. This way, they can access the water and plants in the tank without having to get out. The lid should be mesh or some other type of material that the fish can climb through. Kuhli loaches and bettas will need a lid for their tank. Furthermore, adding a few compatible herbivore fish like corydoras can help to eat some of the algae that grow on the plants. These types of plants will provide cover for the fish while they hide and can purify the water in the system. Be sure to pick plants that are compatible, such as water lilies or java ferns. The betta and kuhli loach will also need plants in their tank. Be sure to add compatible decorative plants ornaments as well as some caves for them to hide in. The pH should be 6.5 to 7.5, and both fish should have access to enough filtration for their needs. Both the kuhli loach and betta will need a temperature of 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (23 to 26 degrees C) and a water hardness of 5 dGH. The other compatibility factor is tank parameters. In general, get a tank that is large enough for both fish to swim around in, as well as plenty of hiding spots and plants for them to explore.

A larger tank will give both fish more space to swim and hide, as well as other tanks for them to interact with. The kuhli loach and betta should have at least a 10-gallon tank if you want them to get along well. The tank size will be the biggest factor in determining compatibility. There are a few things you will need to keep both the kuhli loach and betta together to have a successful relationship.
