Albino Spotted Hoplo Catfish ✨🐟

The Albino Spotted Hoplo Catfish is a hardy, peaceful bottom-dweller known for its striking pale body, spotted patterning, and active personality. This unique catfish is constantly exploring the tank, scavenging for food, and bringing life to the lower levels of the aquarium.

With their armoured appearance and whiskered face, Hoplos are a fantastic choice for community aquariums and make an excellent alternative to more common catfish species.

Why You’ll Love Them:
• Unique albino colour with spotted markings
• Peaceful and community friendly
• Active bottom-dweller with lots of personality
• Hardy and beginner friendly
• Great cleanup crew for leftover foods

Care Guide:
• Adult Size: 12–15cm
• Tank Size: 100L+ recommended
• Temperature: 22–28°C
• pH: 6.5–7.8
• Diet: Sinking pellets, wafers, frozen foods, live foods

Paws & Claws Tip:
Hoplo Catfish appreciate sand or smooth substrate and plenty of hiding spots with driftwood or plants. They may also gulp air from the surface, which is completely normal behaviour.

A rare and character-filled catfish that adds movement and charm to any tropical aquarium.
