This is a very very rare woodcat from the Rio Caqueta in Colombia and we are happy to say that we have the 3rd successful spawn in the US and we are still breeding them.

The Honeycomb woodcat is very easy to breed and relatively common in the hobby. This strain is from the Rio Nanay in Peru and we are breeding these in large quantities.

A somewhat rare find the roman's woodcat is very small and unique they are from the 

Rio Meta in Colombia these spawn like crazy for us even though this has only been done a few times World-wide.

An exceedingly rare species that has never been publicly imported. All imports under this name are actually T. intermedia. We have the only specimens known in captivity and are working hard to get them to spawn! Our group (the real species) is from the Rio Orinoco in Venezuela.

An uncommon and hard to breed woodcat T. gyrina has only ever been bred once however we are constantly working to get this species to spawn and we are happy to be working with it.

A common woodcat in the hobby commonly imported under the name T. galaxias is very easy to keep and breed and is a great start into the world of woodcats.

These are some of the rarest woodcats in the world, I am very happy to say that The Catfish Den is the home to the only captive specimens. Our group is very healthy. This species is found in the Rio Xingu.

Quite a rare woodcat, this strain has come from a long line of renowned master breeders and I am very happy to say that mine are producing great even though they haven't been seen in the wild for over a decade! This species is from the Rio Negro in Brasil.

A very large and seldom seen woodcat from the Rio Preto Do Eva in Brasil

These are hard to feed woodcat's that are somewhat uncommon. They grow to a medium size and sometimes require live food.

Unfortunately, we don't keep these anymore; however, we did provide some very nice photos to planet catfish.

Quite a rare find. A small duckbill cat that is only known to be kept by one other person. These are from the amazon basin in Peru.

 I was the US first person to breed these and we are so proud of our little Otorongo cats! A truly rare and new species that is "near impossible" to breed. 

A small Tatia that is very pretty! (Make sure not to confuse this species with C. orca!)

A unique and aggressive woodcat the gulper catfish is quite large and hungry! These are very hard to keep in captivity and I don't recommend it to anyone. 99% of people fail to keep them for a year and our group was over 2! These are found in the Rio Orinoco and the Rio Negro.

A very attractive pleco species from the Rio Xingu that you will find in most pleco enthusiasts tanks!

A very interesting species of deep-water pleco from the Rio Xingu discovered by my friend Dr. Leandro Sousa!

A very pretty fish closely related to the Queen arabesque. Somewhat hard to come by and a great addition to any community tank!

A large and uncommon species of Hypancistrus that is very underrated and is a beautiful piece! We don't keep these anymore as they were traded to a close friend who is working hard to breed them.

The "mini snowball pleco" is a very small and cute pleco that is one of my personal favorites!

We are currently producing a lot of these in albino and regular colors! They are crazy easy to breed and a great algae eater!

These are a tiny little species that I enjoy breeding . I have even made a small breeding colony.

One of many projects that are growing out, there are many more to share, so stay tuned.
