Tatia spp., Rare Woodcats Spawning Update

Well a week has past since our Tatia strigata eggs first appeared. We are happy to report that they have hatched and are just days away from absorbing their yolk sac. We are still not out of the woods on these but fingers crossed!

In addition to the T. strigata eggs, we just found T. schultzi eggs last night. While the eggs appear to be infertile, it is a step in the right direction. A simple water change with reverse osmosis water (R/O) seems to have done the trick in this case dropping the pH levels. We will continue to providing R/O to see if this can trigger a viable spawn. Our Centromochlus reticulatus appear to not be far off either. We hope to be able to provide some rare Woodcats in the future! Stay tuned!
