Ages ago, when I had kuhlii loaches, they were quite adept at getting under
and back out of the undergravel filter.  I still don't know how they did it;
there were no holes obviously large enough for them.  They didn't have any
trouble, though, and spent a considerable amount of time down there.

I'm starting a tank after a very long hiatus (fifteen years or so...), and
am wondering if I want kuhlii's, simply because I don't want to have to worry
about them getting stuck somewhere nasty.
