Information: |
This Corydoras
paleatus look-alike from Argentina has
finely been named. As they get older the soft dorsal fin rays of
the males become long and flowing. It formerly had the CW number
of 003 on the Corydoras
World
website of Ian Fuller. 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. Remarks:
Coming from the southern parts of South America this species, like
C.paleatus, like the water temperature to be more on the
cooler side. |
