qwerty Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I'm currently doing a fishless water cycle and picking out my fish for a 75 gal and was wondering if I can you keep White Cloud Mountain Minnows with Hoplo Catfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH Morant Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 My hoplos are not aggressive towards any of the other fish, but I don't have anything as small as White Clouds. The hoplos do their thing and pretty much ignore my other fish. There are two kinds of hoplos that I know of. Spotted hoplos (mine are albinos) are also called marbled hoplos, They get up to 5 inches long, Brown hoplos get bigger - up to 8-10 inches long.

lefty o Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 i lean towards no. if they will fit in its mouth, they may become a snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH Morant Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Here are photos of the two varieties of Hoplo catfish in my tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH Morant Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Lefty O might be right about the snack thing. I don't have any experience keeping hoplos with smaller fish like white clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 I guess I could try it out who knows unless you try but I also plan on having quite a few so it may not bother a large school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannes Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I have an hoplo with cardinals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I have a group marbled hoplos in with cardinals, drapefin barbs and pencil fish. The hoplos never show any mind to the other fish and stay mostly interested in one another or rooting around in the sand. I think they would be fine with white clouds overall as long as you didn't get tiny ones to start with. Any tiny fish is taking a chance with larger catfish in the tank.
