Amblydoras hancocki - These catfish are a schooling, peaceful catfish, they are roughly textured with bony scutes and are varying  shades of brown in colour to help camouflage them.

Native to Brazil, Bolivia, Peru and Guyana, in the wild they emulate a leaf to avoid predators and will often burrow into the substrate. Hancock's cats are nocturnal, peaceful and prefer to live in groups. These catfish show remarkable survival skills in the wild, they are able to retain moisture and cross overland to reach water during droughts.
