This species is said to
occupy the same or overlapping geographic areas with C.crypticus
and in some quarters there
is a thought that they are one and the same variable species. There
are variations in colour pattern including small spots and blotches
in certain individuals. 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.
