Information: |
As C.carlae is
from Argentina so a lower temperture as per the conditions for the
Scleromystax
species would probably suit this
Corydoras. Similar pattern to the larger
C. paleatus.
Aquarium Care: Would do well in a small to medium
community tank with species that would suit lower temperatures such
as the White Cloud Mountain Minnow. 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.
Remarks: Will sport yellow fins and barbels when
in good condition. |
