Discover the Charm of the Spotted Albino Hoplo Catfish
Add a burst of energy and a unique look to your aquarium floor with the Spotted Albino Hoplo Cat, now available at Fish R Us. This stunning albino color variant of the beloved Hoplo Catfish features a luminous, light-colored body patterned with contrasting spots, complete with long, expressive barbels that they use to sense their surroundings.

They love to cruise the bottom and middle sections of the tank, playfully sifting through the substrate for food. They are peaceful armored catfish, making them fantastic tank mates for everything from community fish to larger, semi-aggressive setups.)
