Hoplo Catfish (Megalechis thoracata) 2″-3″

Description

The attractive albino form of the Spotted Hoplo Catfish is a recent addition to the hobby, although the normal Hoplo Cat has been a favorite for decades due to its unique appearance, active nature, and hardiness. A widespread species throughout much of the Amazon, Spotted Hoplo Catfish inhabit a wide variety of habitat types and are especially hardy due to their ability to breathe atmospheric air when dissolved oxygen levels are low. In the aquarium, they will thrive in a wide variety of conditions and make excellent tankmates for most medium sized fish.
