A Few Things Worth Knowing

Hoplisoma sipaliwini (CW114) is a beautiful, infrequently encountered Corydoras relative from the river systems of Suriname and Guyana. Its delicate spotted pattern and understated coloration make it a particularly appealing fish for collectors of unusual South American catfish.

A peaceful, social species best maintained in a proper group. Fine sand, clean, well-oxygenated water, plenty of cover, and a varied diet of quality sinking foods with frozen or live offerings will help them thrive.

Offered in groups of six or nine. 

Ethically bred. Rarely available.
