Hopefully I spelled that right. Anyway, I have some coming in, wild caught fish. I wanted to get some tips on temps and treatments if needed, on these guys. I have never had any tatia before, so if someone with experience can tell me what has worked for them and what hasn't, it would be greatly appreciated. Matt

I think all the information you're looking for is to be found on the data sheet .
If not, let us know.

I guess the biggest thing i worry about is if certain meds will kill them or not.

I would suggest treating with metronidazole for any intestinal or skin parasites which are the most common infections you see. For wood cats I would recommend a darkened aquarium for the first few weeks and plenty of live and frozen foods as they may not accept processed foods at first.

I have kept Centromochlus perugiae in the past and most recently Trachelichthys exilis and both did well for me on frozen bloodworms, live blackworms, and eventually some flake and small pellets.
