Information: |
Similar to C.
pulcher and CW028
(which has a shorter snout) and is not imported very often. Known
for the two very bold lines on the mid-body. 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. |
