Information: |
Closely related to C.
bondi
which used to be a sub-species (C.bondi coppenamensis).
Similar also to C.sipaliwini.
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. Remarks: Rare
