Information: |
Similar to C.
schwartzi but this species
does not posses the orange blotch in the predorsal region and the
first ray of the dorsal is transparent or greyish black whereas
C. parallelus has the first ray of the dorsal black. This
species was first given the C-Number of C002. A very beautiful species.
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.
