Will I have problems mixing an African butterfly in a tank that contains kuhli loaches?

The African butterfly has a large enough mouth to swallow one but they stay at differnt tank levels, the kuhlis at the bottom and the butterfly fish at the top. The tank is 40cm high.|||It should be fine. I have a African Butterfly Fish and I used to have Kuhli loaches with him, he just use to ignore them and stay at the very top.





Heads up try getting some floating surface plants for your Butterfly, they really love to hide in them.|||If the tank is big enough and the khuli loaches stay at the bottom they'll be fine.The link has everything you need to know.|||I would think they will be OK. Kuhli are quite big fish, and fast. African Butterflys are surface feeders, they may not even notice the other is there.
