5 pack Honeycomb Tatia Catfish

🍯 Honeycomb Tatia Catfish (Tatia perugiae) – Rare Dwarf Woodcat with Striking Pattern and Secretive Charm

The Honeycomb Tatia Catfish is a highly sought-after dwarf woodcat known for its bold honeycomb-like pattern, peaceful nature, and elusive behavior. Native to the slow-moving blackwater streams of South America, this unique nocturnal species is a favorite among oddball collectors and nano catfish enthusiasts.

Unlike many bottom dwellers, the Honeycomb Tatia prefers to hide among driftwood and leaf litter during the day and emerges at night to feed. With its compact size, mottled chocolate and cream coloration, and gentle demeanor, it’s the perfect addition to planted aquariums, biotope setups, or peaceful community tanks.
