Information: |
Formerly known as a subspecies
of C.melanistius
but was moved up to species level by Isbrücker (in
Fuller, 2001). 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. |
