Information: |
This species was formerly
split into two subspecies, this one which was C. blochi blochi
and the other, C. blochi vittatus, which is now a species
in its own right as C.
vittatus. It was also cataloged
in the C-number system as C032. Aquarium Care:
As this is one of the longer snouted species it will be well suited
to most community tanks. A well planted tank with a soft substrate
such as sand so they can bury their snouts while searching out food.
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. |
