My fish got a problem

[CassCats]

theyre obsessed with pottery!

 

[WhistlingBadger]

Hm, I'd keep a very close eye on that, if I were you. Pot can be a gateway to worse things.

 

[PheonixKingZ]

I thought this was a medical emergency!

 

[CassCats]

Double trouble!

They're very passionate about growing their beneficial bacteria, its their little garden!

Hoplos are so cool. When they belong to someone else.

These ones are small hoplos and they're actually very good with my plants! No worse than cories
BEST FISH EVER FIGHT ME haha...

But seriously they actually are the best fish ever

I love Hoplo catfish! Every time I go to my LFS I watch them zoom around the tanks and they are so cute! I can't get any though since I don't have the proper tank size for them

I wanted to get hoplos for my 55g

There are smaller ones... hoplosternum punctatum are what I got, they stay 3 inches! I wouldn't go smaller than a 40 gallon tank for them due to their activity level, but they don't need a huge tank like their larger cousins

Do it. Seriously, if you think cories got personality, these guys will blow you away. Hands down the most personable fish I've ever met. See the link above, this is a small species of hoplo.

Even my cherry barbs are guilty!

He actually sleeps in it a lot at night.
