Corydoras haraldshultzi
is sometimes confused with C.
sterbai.The difference being that C.sterbai
has for simplistic reasons a dark basic body colour with white
spots on the head and snout area, while C. haraldshultzi
has it in reverse, a light body with dark spots/ reticulations.
Another Corydoras confused with C. haraldshultzi
is C. araguaiensis,
but it has no orange colouration to the fins.
Other similar looking species are C.
spectabilis and C.
isbrueckeri. 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. |
