About the Albino Spotted Hoplo Catfish

Name: Albino Spotted Hoplo Catfish

Max Size: Around 4-5 inches (10-13 cm)

Recommend pH: 6.5-7.5

Recommended Temperature (Β°F): 75-82Β°F (24-28Β°C)

Diet: Albino Spotted Hoplo Catfish are omnivorous. They have a versatile diet that includes both meaty foods and plant matter. They will accept a variety of high-quality sinking pellets, flakes, and frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small insect larvae. Providing a balanced diet with occasional vegetable-based supplements is beneficial for their overall health.

Temperament: Peaceful

Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Non-Schooling Fish (Albino Spotted Hoplo Catfish are solitary by nature and prefer to be the only representative of their species in the aquarium.)

Possible types of tank mates: Albino Spotted Hoplo Catfish are generally peaceful and can be kept with other peaceful community fish. Good tank mates include small to medium-sized tetras, rasboras, dwarf cichlids, and other catfish species. Avoid housing them with aggressive or fin-nipping fish.

Behavior: Albino Spotted Hoplo Catfish are known for their beautiful appearance and peaceful demeanor. They have a pale, cream-colored body with distinctive dark spots scattered across their body and fins. They are bottom-dwelling catfish and spend most of their time foraging and searching for food on the aquarium substrate. They are excellent scavengers and help keep the tank clean by consuming leftover food and detritus. Albino Spotted Hoplo Catfish are generally shy and prefer to have hiding spots in the form of caves, driftwood, or plants to retreat to when they feel stressed or threatened. They are active during the night and may become more active during feeding times. Overall, they are a fascinating addition to a community aquarium and can provide both visual interest and functional benefits.

Fun Fact: The Albino Spotted Hoplo Catfish, like its non-albino counterparts, belongs to the Callichthyidae family, which includes armored catfish species. These catfish have a series of bony plates covering their bodies, providing protection against potential predators. Their armored nature and peaceful temperament make them interesting and desirable aquarium fish for both novice and experienced fishkeepers.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
