Cat-eLog info on Trichomycterus dali

[lfinley58]

Hi all.

Under the "Furniture" section on this species is noted the following: "In the wild found in small streams with a sand and rock bottom with no vegetation. The captured fish were found hiding under rocks."

In that this is a cave dwelling species, it is suggested that this incorrect information should be removed. I note that the same exact information is provided for a number of different species within the genus. In some cases this is a true statement, but for others...?? This might be a good area for a literature review to confirm or deny the statement for each species under which it appears.

Thanks Lee,

The way species data works is that information items, like "Furniture" can be supplied at a pan genus or species level. When information is not available for that individual species, the pan genus info is presented.

In this case, some dafty (probably me) copied the "The captured fish were found hiding under rocks." text to the generic level.

For

Trichomycterus dali

, it's been noted (species level) the fish lives in caves and I've removed the "captured fish" text from the generic info too.

Cheers,
