Listed in Soares et al,
2008 and Catalog of Fishes as Centromochlus musaica, but
the former as incertae sedis (of uncertain placement and
signifies a taxonomic group difficult to place in the larger taxonomic
scheme). Fishbase follows Ferraris, C.J. Jr. 2003 & 2007 and
places it in the Tatia genus as Tatia musaica.
Aquarium care: Whatever the placement of this small
driftwood cat it would probably be best kept in the same conditions
as Centromochlus
perugiae and would need a planted
tank with the lighting not too bright. Diet: Feeding
of frozen bloodworm which they will come out of hiding to feed on,
catfish tablets, daphnia, white worm (sparingly) and any other small
worm-like foods. |
