Tetranematichthys wallacei.

The Horseshoe Cat is a peaceful, bottom-dwelling species native to South America. These small catfish are known for their distinctive horseshoe-shaped marking and active behavior as they scavenge along the substrate. They thrive in groups and prefer well-oxygenated water with plenty of hiding spots among plants and driftwood. Their peaceful nature makes them excellent additions to community aquariums with other small, non-aggressive fish. They help keep the tank clean by consuming leftover food and detritus.
