This species lives alongside
other species such as C.
ourastigama, C042,
C066 and
C074.
in its natural habitat. There is also an albino home-bred variety
in the hobby. Aquarium Care: This is akin to most
of this genus, very peaceful, and would be best housed with small
to medium tankmates such as Tetras, Rasboras and Danios or in a
species tank for breeding purposes. Diet: Feeding
Corydoras similis is not a problem as they will readily
consume commercial foods such as flake, granular and tablet foods
and frozen foods such as bloodworms and daphnia, like all fish they
benefit from regular feedings of live foods such as Daphnia, Cyclops,
Grindal worms and bloodworms. |
