I have made a couple posts on this and gotten no feedback. Is the Tiger Hoplo a beginner fish? How big does it get? What tank size? Will 30 do? What food? I assume it's similar to the Common Brown Hoplo.
People please I need info on Hoplo Catfish

can you post a picture? or give the correct scientific name? I'm not familiar with any tiger hoplo.
But in general i would say that any hoplo or even corydora cats make the best beginner catfish. Corydora's prefer to be in groups of course. And I've noticed that with the hoplo's i've kept they generally hang together.
This is purely my observations, and a correct identification would help get you more information.

Top pic is Megalechis thoracata. About 5". 30gal is OK.
Bottom pic is Hoplosternum littorale I think (hard to tell with picture cut). If the tail is forked, then most likely. About 8".
Both are not picky eaters and easy to feed. Treat them like big corydoras ... great fish.
