Hoplisoma oiapoquense

Callichthyidae · Brazil & French Guiana (Rio Oyapock / Oiapoque basin)

These are my own captive-bred juveniles, raised in a dedicated fishroom and accustomed to aquarium conditions and prepared foods.

A Few Things Worth Knowing

A social species best maintained in a proper group, with fine sand, clean, well-oxygenated water, and a varied diet that includes sinking foods and frozen or live offerings.

Offered in groups of six or nine. If you really want to see something beautiful, try 15+ (just contact me!)

Ethically bred. Occasionally available.
