More about False spotted catfish

The False spotted catfish, also known as Pseudotatia parva, is a relatively obscure species within the aquarium hobby. Native to freshwater environments in parts of South America, this fish showcases a brownish body adorned with a pattern of dark spots, contributing to its "spotted" namesake. Its elongated body shape and the presence of barbels around the mouth are characteristic of many catfish species. Despite its striking appearance, the False spotted catfish is not widely known or commonly kept in the aquarium hobby, making it a unique addition for enthusiasts interested in rare or unusual species.
