Relevant Information: |
Quite similar to
C. nanus. Males usually have a black blotch to the
dorsal fin. 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. |
