Easy species to identify
due to the unique pattern in the caudal fin which it also shares
with Dianema
urostriatum from
the Callichthyinae sub family. Not an easy species of Corydoras
to breed, but it has been achieved. (see ScotCat
article in Reference). 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.
