The Hoplo Cats are calm and easy to care for. I kept them in a 20-gallon tank with two others, and they’ve been getting along well. They don’t chase each other or stress the community fish. A good choice for a beginner aquarist.

They arrived healthy and active. I noticed they’re more active in groups. I added two more to make a trio, and they’ve settled in nicely. The size is smaller than expected, but they’re growing steadily.

I was worried about aggressive behavior, but these fish are very peaceful. I’ve had them for three months now and they’ve adapted well to the tank environment. Definitely recommend for community tanks.
