Information:
Colour pattern in this
species can be variable. It can also be mistaken for C.
ambiacus. Juveniles can often show large spots on
body which reduce in size as they mature. 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.
