Centromochlus orca

A beautifully patterned dwarf woodcat named for its distinctive black-and-white coloration, the Orca Woodcat is a cryptic species which spends most of the daylight hours hidden within driftwood, leaf litter, or submerged logs. Known from middle Amazon tributaries in Brazil, this species is similar to (and has in the past been confused with) the Ninja Woodcat (C. musaica) but can be distinguished by heavier white spotting throughout the body. In the aquarium they are a hardy species and have been bred successfully, but should be kept only with similarly small and peaceful tankmates as they can easily be outcompeted for food.
