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. |
