BROWN HOPLO FRY
So I'm at my second spawning and I've successfully hatched them again, roughly 1000+/- and they all look good. First batch crashed in a 10 gallon tank. I was told to use a bio sponge filter with air.

Brown Hoplo (Hoplosternum Littorale)

I am intrigued with their bubble nesting and have seen videos of them building a nest, but I would like a first hand opportunity on trying to have them nest in a tank. If there is anyone that has any hoplo they would like to sell of any ...
