Relevant Information: |
This could be the species that was
being bred by a North of England aquarist which ultimately led
to the "Gold"
Aspidoras.
The Aspidoras genera differ from Corydoras
by their different behaviour such as their swimming habits. The
eyes are smaller, body smaller and a smaller head shape in Aspidoras
compared with Corydoras. Aspidoras posses a duel
fontanel bone structure in the skull whereas Corydoras
have only the one larger fontanel. Aquarium Care: They
are best kept in groups of six or more and are best housed with
small fishes that are not aggressive. Provide a planted area in
the tank for cover and include a soft substrate such as sand or
small rounded gravel. Diet: Flake, tablet foods, small live and
frozen foods. |
