ha i never took an interest in this type of catfish but they looked so cute he loves in the plants i think im goin to get him a mate or two
 
Hoplos are great catfish.

I had 2 that were out and about all the time. One died for reasons unknown. Now the surviving one hides all the time and I hardly ever see it.
 
I love these hoplo's I now have seven of them plus two little ones growing on in my daughters tank.. The largest one is maximum size I think at 7 inch.. he's always out as are all of them and I think they have real character..

Feed him on prima and tubifex cubes and he'll soon double in size.
 
I bought 5 late last year and now they are about 4 inches and very chunky

they are ace fish always active and so peaceful its untrue. They are like big upper level swimming corys in their behaviour
 
tank size is 750 litres. also have a shoal of 35 cories, I love cats in general and 11 clown loach... I'm always up to the armpit in water replanting after they all decide to pull em up... and I thought a 30 inch deep tank was a good idea :lol:
