With its attractive mottled patterning and whiskered face, this South American species brings both character and constant activity to the lower levels of the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"416\" data-end=\"828\"\u003eUnlike many catfish that remain hidden during the day, Hoplo Catfish are often out exploring, sifting through the substrate, and interacting with their surroundings. They thrive in aquariums with sand or fine gravel, driftwood, and plenty of open space to forage. Hardy and adaptable, they make an excellent addition to larger community aquariums and are well suited to both beginner and experienced fishkeepers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"jnt6uo\" data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"847\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"849\" data-end=\"1189\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"849\" data-end=\"869\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner to intermediate aquarists and larger community aquariums\u003cbr data-start=\"935\" data-end=\"938\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"960\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 litres\u003cbr data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"974\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"974\" data-end=\"996\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22–28°C\u003cbr data-start=\"1004\" data-end=\"1007\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1020\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003cbr data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1031\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1031\" data-end=\"1059\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3+ for natural behaviour\u003cbr data-start=\"1084\" data-end=\"1087\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1105\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; suitable with most medium-sized community fish\u003cbr data-start=\"1162\" data-end=\"1165\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1178\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15–18 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
