Information: |
Similar to C100
and is rare in imports. Discovered in the upper Rio Solimoes by
Dr Herbert R. Axelrod and named in honour of his wife Evelyn. 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. |
