Information:
Shares the same habitats
as the rounder headed version C.oiapoquensis.
Aquarium Care: As this is one of the longer snouted
species it will be well suited to most community tanks. A well planted
tank with a soft substrate such as sand so they can bury their snouts
while searching out food. 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.
