Hoplo littorale

Post by Chrysichthys »

I have a pair of Hoplosternum littorale. Now that the hoplos have all been reclassified, what's their new name? Does anybody out there keep these hoplos? They're so intelligent that it's scary.

The reference you need is Roberto Reis' 1997 revision of <i>Hoplosternum</i>. Email or pm me and I may be able to get you a copy.
Here's a brief overview:
In <i>Hoplosternum</i>, you have <i>H. littorale and H. punctatum</i>.
In <i>Megalechis</i>, <i>M. thoracata</i> and <i>M. personata</i>.
In <i>Lepthoplosternum</i>, you have <i>L. altamazonicum</i>, <i>L. beni</i>, <i>L. pectorale</i> and <i>L. tordilho</i>.
