Information: |
Similar to C.
cruziensis
from Bolivia and are difficult to tell apart. Quie rare in imports.
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. |
