Information: |
Adult males have an extended
first dorsal fin ray. Similar to C.
parallelus but this species
has an orange blotch in the predorsal region and the first ray of
the dorsal is black whereas C. schwartzi has a transparent
or greyish first dorsal fin ray followed by a black zone. Aquarium
Care: This is akin to most of this genus, very peaceful,
and would be best housed with small to medium sized tankmates such
as Tetras, Rasboras and Danios or in a species tank for breeding
purposes. Best to purchase 6 individuals
or more as they will be happier in a group. Diet:
Readily accepts a mixed and varied diet which includes granular
foods, tablet food, frozen bloodworm and good quality flake to name
but a few. |
