Information: |
There are a few different
colour pattern variations with this pretty Corydoras species.
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. |
