Information: |
One of the more prettier
species of Corydoras with a metallic green body and yellow
fins. Aquarium care: This
is akin to most of this genus, very peaceful, and would be best
housed with small to medium tank mates such as Tetras, Rasboras
and Danios or in a
species tank for breeding purposes. Diet: A
good quality flake food and tablet food for adults with sporadic
feedings of frozen or live food will keep your Corydoras
in good health. |
