Pangio kuhlii is a sinuous and slender loach that weaves through substrate, plant roots and narrow crevices in search of food. Despite its secretive nature, groups become progressively bolder over time, especially when provided with hiding places that allow them to feel secure. An effective grazer of leftover food and micro-organisms from the substrate surface.
