Information: |
Sympatric with C.
seussi which has a longer snout. Before C.seussi
was described by Dinkelmeyer in 1996 its common name was "long-nosed
gossei". 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. |
