Information: |
Very closely likened to
C. coriatae Burgess, 1997 which may very well prove to
be a synonym of C. fowleri. 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. Remarks: A very
impressive looking species. |
