Relevant Information: |
There are a few different colour pattern
variations with this pretty Corydoras species. Similar
looking to C121
which has a brown patch on the gill area. 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. |
