I have 3 spotted, two are about 3 - 3.5" and the other is about 5". All 3 of them are big babies. They share a tank with zebra danio's and a pair of kribensis. They are a bit wreckless and will run into the kribs sometimes, but no aggression at all.
tscharf;5010786; said:good deal, im happy with my choce, anyone got any ideas on what i could replace my cory cats with? something thatll sift through the top layer of sand and keep the tank clean.
If you have room for another large fish I hear Brown Hoplos sift through the sand a lot(they do get pretty big though, I've seen 10"+ and I doubt that's the max).
ive thought about snails but do they actually sift through the top layers of the sand or do they just get the stuff on top, i like to have the first 1/4in or so of sand being turned over like the cories do. im also worried about the snail getting in my fx5 and fluval 305
Yeah I can't even find Brown Hoplos on planet Catfish and the only other source I found listed the max size at 7" and I know I've seen bigger so oh well.
Just found it on Planet Catfish they list the max size at 8.3"
