Quite a variable species.
There is a similar species with the C-number of C039 which has a
deeper body and a different head shape. 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.
