Thailand iirc, a quick google can confirm it

Hoplos are awesome. Mine will take worms from my hand and if I reach into the tank for anything he'll kinda wrap his whiskers around my fingertip to "sniff" it and check for food. Hes really active and shows a lot of personality.

^Exactly what I was thinking. I'll admit I couldnt resist giving mine a nudge now and then when they got curious during cleanings, but I wouldnt make a habit of it.

Oh yeah, just saying theyre big and might survive. If I actually got my hands on them they would be in a tank with nothing but other (smaller) bichirs

Lol knowing bumblebees thats really not saying much. I have three (2 spot 1 stripe) and have never had any aggression issues. So long as they dont have to share a single hiding spot you should be fine with as many as your tank/bioload can hold. They do hide a lot and dont move much, mine hide in...

There arent really any bichirs that would be safe with a RTC. Perhaps if you got a wild PBB, or EC that was already huge, but even thats pushing it.

Its taken a back seat lately. I have my 65g set up for it but I keep finding interesting fish that arent catfish... I can never seem to find small cats other than corys (which I may add eventually anyway).

Awesome find! Im jealous.

Love that red in the fins. Mine is all blacked out because of the dark tank.

Thanks!

Yeah thats it as far as I can tell, I apparently have two females.

He found a new hiding spot at the front glass so I actually get to see him now.

Mine will occasionally, if he decides to come out at feeding time he knows the food is going to start at the top so sometimes he waits there and will eat floating food.

Got these two guys out of a tank of "Assorted Rainbowfish" but the body and tail shapes are quite different> Im certainly no expert on the rainbow variations so I dunno. Crappy pics ahoy! The second pic is really bad but it shows the shape of the tail fairly well. Any help is appreciated

Avoid the pleco, and im not sure about redtailed sharks, but a rainbow shark reduced two of my sens to one barbel each before I got rid of him. Just my experience.

Nice, Ive got one myself and thats about all I ever see of him, he will cram his head into the tiniest little holes sometimes and leave the rest just dangling. I guess if he cant see me he doesnt think I can see him.

Over the years hes had sinking carnivore, hikari sinking cichlid pellets, shrimp pellets (briefly), freeze dried krill, and the usual assortment of frozen cubes. Hes a vacuum cleaner, its tough to make sure the slow eaters like my polys and raphaels actually get any food.

tiny. like 2 inches, typical lfs size

I dunno really, a little over three years at least

Nice setup, and thats a really fat sen! When feeding crickets do you usually end up with a mess of cricket pieces floating around afterwards? A roach once got to close to the water in one of my tanks and in the morning there were legs everywhere and a wing floating up top.
