Information: |
Similar to C.
copei
from Peru and are quite difficult to tell apart. 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: This species was given the
C-Number of C012 before being described by Knnack in 2002. |
