Reminded About Hoplos ;p

[nurglespuss]

Hi All the topic today 'in praise of the hoplo' reminded me how much I love these fish (and how much I miss my two back home)....

Just out of interest are there any 'small' hoplo species? e.g. ones that would go in a 106L tank?

Ah just flicking through my badly damaged copy of Baensch (#41#### you pumpkin!) and there is Dianema longibarbis

Which needs 22'C and 29" tank (Ideal for my tank)... I've never seen portholes for sale mind you!

According to Tropical Fish Finder they were recently being stocked at maidenhead aquatics, syon park. But when I looked they weren't there.
