Tatia perugiae are nocturnal, secretive fish preferring dimly lit aquariums enriched with hiding spots like caves, driftwood, and plants. They are peaceful and can coexist with other non-aggressive community fish. Feeding: They are omnivorous and appreciate a varied diet, including frozen or live foods like daphnia, bloodworms, and high-quality sinking pellets. Regular feeding at night matches their natural behavior. Behavior: Known for their shy nature, they often inhabit the middle to lower tank levels, active during twilight hours.
