I have seen Tatia Galaxias available from an online retailer. I'm not worried about them being misidentified T. intermedia as either would be an interesting addition to my fish room. My question is, would it be possible to put one or 3 into my micro cats tank? I have 4 microglanis iheringi, 2 glass cats, 2 banjo cats, and 2 parrot doradids housed together. Would I be better off housing them with my hoplo cats in a cooler Central American tank with a pair of Herotilapia Multispinosa (Rainbow Cichlid)?

Mouths are pretty small. Think it can be done. Have 5 in a tank with small otos and were fine.

In my opinion, assuming tank has room, either would work. If you end up with a pair it is possible to breed them but unfortunately in either tank the jelly covered eggs would get eaten.
With regards misidentification, just note that galaxias would usually be higher priced than intermedia.

These are priced at $12.50ea. Order is placed. If a pair happens and spawning does occur I'm setup to remove the eggs.

Added to the G. Brasiliensis juvie 29g. Super squirrelly out of the bag.

Watched these guys feed and they know no personal space. Push in on any other fish or through what ever is in front of them. They were even swimming up off the bottom to feed on pellets floating around.
