Tatia is a genus of small South American catfishes belonging to Auchenipteridae, the driftwood catfish family.
There are currently 17 recognized species in this genus:
In addition to the described species, an undescribed species of Tatia that closely resembles Tatia musaica is often sold in the tropical fish hobby. This undescribed form is known as Ninja Tatia . This ninja Tatia has some white spots on the upper black-colored body and more white on the tail fin, compared to Tatia musaica.
Hypostomus is a genus of catfish in the family Loricariidae. They are native to tropical and subtropical South America. H. plecostomus is the popular freshwater aquarium fish formerly known as Plecostomus plecostomus. The taxonomic structure of the Loricariidae is still being expanded by scientists. Hypostomus is a highly species-rich and widely distributed catfish genus.
Trichomycterus is a genus of fish in the family Trichomycteridae, the largest genus of its family with over 170 species currently described. This genus is native to freshwater habitats in Central and South America. These fish are generally small, usually about 5 to 15 cm (2–6 in) in standard length, although the largest, T. rivulatus, can reach more than twice this size. Species differ from one another primarily in body proportions, fin ray counts and colouration. Despite their relatively small size, some, such as T. punctulatus, support fisheries and are important in the local cuisine.
The Pseudopimelodidae are a small family of catfishes known as the bumblebee catfishes or dwarf marbled catfishes. Some of these fish are popular aquarium fish.
Microglanis is a genus of fish in the family Pseudopimelodidae native to South America. This genus has the widest distribution within its family, with species ranging from the Guianas to Venezuela; western slope of the Andes in Ecuador and Peru to the Río de La Plata basin in Argentina. They occur eastward to the Orinoco and Amazon basins. It is also present in the eastern coastal rivers of Brazil.
Microlepidogaster is a genus of armored catfishes native to South America.
Parotocinclus is a genus of fish in the family Loricariidae native to South America. This genus is distributed through almost all hydrographic systems in South America from the Guyana Shield drainages and Amazon Shield tributaries to the coastal drainages of eastern and southeastern Brazil, including the rio São Francisco basin. Most species have the caudal peduncle oval in cross section. It has been found that Characidium species may interact with P. maculicauda. The small Characidium will follow grazing P. maculicauda, which release particulate matter dislodged from the catfish's foraging.
Ituglanis is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Trichomycteridae native to South America. Their greatest diversity seems to occur in the Amazon River basin. Most species inhabit leaf litter, with several species living in caves.
Entomocorus is a genus of catfishes of the family Auchenipteridae.
Auchenipterus is a genus of driftwood catfishes.
Centromochlus is a genus of fish in the family Auchenipteridae native to South America.
Congoglanis is a genus of loach catfishes found in the Congo River system of Africa. This genus is considered the sister group of all other species in the subfamily Doumeinae.
Gelanoglanis is a genus of fish in the family Auchenipteridae native to South America.
Glanidium is a genus of driftwood catfishes found in South America.
Spinipterus is a genus of catfishes of the family Auchenipteridae.
Parotocinclus arandai is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in tributaries of the Jucurucu River and the Buranhém River in Brazil. It is found in clear shallow waters with a depth of around 0.3 m (0.98 ft) and a substrate of sand or gravel. The species reaches 4.3 cm SL.
Glanidium leopardum is a species of driftwood catfish in the family Auchenipteridae. It is found in the coastal rivers of the Guianas in South America.
