Information:
As C. carlae is from
Argentina so a lower temperture as per the conditions
for the Scleromystaxspecies
would probably suit this Corydoras. Similar
pattern to the larger C.
paleatus. Lineage:
Placed in Lineage 6 which has always been classified
as Corydoras (Lacépède, 1803)
so a new genus would need to be described and a new
type species when a new revision is carried out.
Aquarium Care: This is akin to most of this
genus, very peaceful, and would be best housed with
small to medium tank mates such as Tetras, Rasboras
and Danios or in a species tank for breeding purposes.
Diet: A good quality flake food and
tablet food for adults with sporadic feedings of frozen
or live food will keep your Corydoras in
good health. Remarks:
Will sport yellow fins and barbels when in good condition.
