Has anyone here had any first hand experience with loxozonus? Are they more deilcate than other cory cats or pretty much the same. My fish order had to be changed (after my reserved fish were accidenly sold) and the shop keeper has given me some loxozonus instead of my orginal choice.

Hi,

My tank is 100cm x 40cm x 55 cm but I only fill the water level up to 44cm because the way I like to have the filter (with the water breaking the surface). I make that to be 220 liters (58.118 US gallons or 48.393 imperial gallons). I currently have three spotted hoplos, 11 corries and 10 ...

For hand feeding try less meals and fresh washed LIVE tubifex less filling than blood worm(ps they tickle)...hmm but @ the moment from my local supplier in Sussex UK he has to get the tubifex from Russia(expensive and unreliable)....I know cleaning up the Thames was a good thing but they didnt us ...

Thanks so much for the wonderful answers. I am getting very excited about getting Hoplos now. And it seems I can have some Corys in with them too (Yay!). I plan to go for thoracata as I don't think my tank would be big enough long term for the Littorale. :)

I'm just working on possible tank mates ...

I want to get some Hoplo catfish after reading how much character they have and watching a number of You Tube videos with hoplos of various sizes. I've also read that some, with patience, can feed from the hand and that they aren't the least bit shy. Active none shy fish really appeal to me.
