How rare are hognose brochis catfish? I picked up two of them today about 2 inches each and can’t find much online and was told they were pretty rare and have heard in the past that they’re rare. Also they’re going in a 40g with live plants and bettas but don’t have either yet. FC600D79-AEF7-47AA-9409-8221B5673357.jpeg

They aren’t too common, but not easy to get either.
Care is probably similar to most cories.
 
I got your PM. Sorry, I've kept std brochis splendens, the emerald catfish about 10 years ago.


I know nothing about the hognoses or their availability.

They’ve been acting exactly like other corys but there’s 1 big difference I’ve noticed, these things are extremely active and when they’re hungry they go to the top of the water for food which most corys I’ve ever kept always ate sinking pellets but these guys go straight to the top.
