The Tatia are incredibly nice fish, and fairly easy to keep...but they hide all the time. UNTIL feeding time. They attack food like a colony of sharks! Very cool to watch. However; there is a trade off. Even though they hide all the time, they might still be a good choice if you want to try and breed them. Thier unusal spawning technique is well worth the challenge. The females are internally fertilised (like a guppy). A few days later, she'll lay eggs inside a cave or PVC tube (if provided). I believe that the female provides all of the parental care. Interesting fish if you don't mind the occasional sightings only during feeding time.
