Information: |
C079, C082 and C083 are
all colour variations of Corydoras loxozonas. Ian Fuller
of CorydorasWorld.com states that when breeding there are variations
in patterns in each batch of fry. 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. |
