Information: |
Similar to C.trilineatus
from the same catchment area. So much so that there is a belief
in some quarters that they are one and the same species (C.
acrensis is C. trilineatus) due to only one specimen
(the holotype) being described. Aquarium Care:
This is akin to most of this genus, very peaceful, and would be
best housed with small to medium sized tankmates such as Tetras,
Rasboras and Danios or in a species tank for breeding purposes.
Best to purchase 6 individuals or more as they will be happier
in a group. Diet: Readily accepts a mixed and varied
diet which includes granular foods, tablet food, frozen bloodworm
and good quality flake to name but a few. |
