Relevant Information: |
There are a few different colour forms
that go under the name of C. axelrodi. There are also
similar types with only a single stripe on the body and others
with a short third stripe. Similar is Corydoras
sp. (C003) also known under the common name of 'Deckeri'.
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. Remarks: Can sometimes be a bit
sensitive when first imported as wild specimens. When first water
changing use a dechlorinator that removes chlorine or chloramine
from the water, or leave the water standing for a few days. |
