Information: |
Adult males can be quite
striking with their long dorsal fin. Similar to appearance, as juvenile,
to C049 which is found in the Purus system in Brazil and called
'False robustus' by the exporters. 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. |
