When i came from my holiday i found all my 6 corydoras dead..and my hoplo had pop eyes.
I didn't have any med...like metafix or anything else at all,i just changed my water every 2nd day and now he is almost in perfect health again
I was amazed that no more fish has died..because the water temp was 37C when i came home.If i was gone for more than 1 week i am sure i would have lost more fish.

Awesome. Hoplos are wonderful fish... One of the few catfish IME that can truly be hand-tamed.

Did you have technical difficulties with your heater?



I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Well done Robby. Hoplos are certainly a different fish to have.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

So sad for the Corydoras, but glasd that you saved the Hoplo.
This summer i lost 5 Albino Corydoras due to heat.

Just wanted to let you know that my Hoplo is now 100% healthy again
He is very active now and swims around the tank and showing who is the boss
