Cat-eLog info on Trichomycterus dali

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.
