Information: |
Similar in appearance to
C.nattereri
but is smaller and shorter in the body and lacks the body spot at
the base of the dorsal fin. Harder to breed than C.nattereri
and the loss of fry is a problem. Remarks:
Nijssen described C.baderi a year later (1970) as C.oelemariensis
which is now a junior synonym of this species. Not very common in
the hobby. 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. |
