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.
