the TATIA HONEYCOMB CATFISH is A popular and attractively patterned dwarf woodcut from the middle Amazon and its tributaries in Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador, the Honeycomb Woodcat or Oil Catfish is a cryptic species that spend most of the daylight hours hidden within driftwood, leaf litter, or submerged logs. At night, however, they emerge to feed near the surface where they actively hunt for insects and insect larvae. In the aquarium, they are a hardy species and have been bred successfully, but should be kept only with similarly small and peaceful tankmates as they can easily be outcompeted for food.
