Hoplias Malabaricus

[Oscaric]

Hi all, was just wondering if anyone have the care guide for hoplias malabaricus?

Perhaps water parameters is enough.

Thank you all!

Don't think there is a care guide but can post in the characin section.

No specific water requirements but of course minimum as most fish require.

Will get upto 20 inches. 100g or bigger is good. Will take most meaty foods. Not a picky eater. Tankmates will need to be large enough not to get eaten. Silvery tankamtes are always risky.

Thanks for the reply! Why are silvery tankmates risky?

Lots of silvery fish in the amazon and ends up being food. That's all. Even the dithers( sd's /barbs) used end up being a statistic.

When the light hits their silvery body the reflection flashes to other fish and attracts them. Check jelly's site for a care guide or simply use the search bar.

Think the site is http://hoplias.m.webs.com/site/mobi...8cafa8a52bd151de8c1df846f40&fb_sig_network=fw

Think this is it but won't load for me right now.
