LFS gave Me 2 Baby Hoplos

[Gill]

The LFS gave me 2 Baby Hoplos as The were the last 1's Left.

Dunno Which they are but Googled and Says they are Very Peaceful, didn't know the males make a bubble Nest.

Congrats, got a pic to see it.

Will Try,

Sadly 1 Died Last Night.

But I will Get 1 of the other 1.
It is stayig in the upper left corner in the plastic ivy.

 

[WILDER]

Nice pics hope the other one survives, good luck.

Hoplo's are brilliant fish, very sociable. I have had 3 for about 2 years now, 1 male and 2 female, they have never bred though so no bubblenest although that info is true.

They are schoaling fish though, they do better in griups of 3 or more. They do grow pretty big, up to 8 inches.

Hope this helps and good luck with the 1 you have left, let us know how he/she gets on

 

[Gill]

He/She is still in the Plastic Ivy.

Staying Close to the Apple Snails , Dunno Why.

Will Get him a freind in Next Weeks Shipment.

 

[Gill]

Well, He/She has been hiding Alot now.

Saw him swimming around in the pennywort yesterday evening.

On another Note, LFS got some Golden Brochis in - The Temptation

 

[OohFeeshy]

Ahh, hope he/she does OK, I'd love some hoplos.

 

[Ferris]

Give him/her time to settle in, I'm sure he/she will be OK. Will probably be more active if you can get another one. Good luck!

 

[Gill]

Thanks for the Support Guys.

But I found him Halfway down an Apple Snail @ Lights on.

I guess they were just too weak. I will have to look out for some Larger Specimens Next time - These Were Under 1.5CM.

 

[Ferris]

Sorry to hear that Gill . Perhaps they were too small for tankmates, better luck next time.
