SuperGuppyGirl Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Recently saw on kijiji someone selling a Hoplo Catfish and was wondering about them as they almost look like a Corydoras, anyone have these or have experience with them ?

syno321 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Although they are from the same family (Callichthydae), they really don't look anything like Corys. Great information on planetcatfish regarding any species of catfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGuppyGirl Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Was hoping to hear some members experience with them as several sites online gave very conflicting info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingin' It Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I have had two hoplos for over a year...they eat like pigs, don't come out with the lights on very often. They are a cool cat though for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayfong Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I've got 3 of them. They are really active and gluttonous like most catfish. There is one person on this board that is breeding them and you can see juveniles for sale at the ACE auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Don't have but found them interesting so I had read up a bit. This site looks okay for some basic info on them. Quite a few pictures as well. http://aqualandpetsp...sh,%20Hoplo.htm Edited June 2, 2012 by ckmullin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowmix Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 i am the one selling it, great little catfish. Is fine with the smallest of fish. Mine seems to come out with the lights on quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
