Relevant Information: |
The fish in the first first 5 images
were collected by the image contributor Carlos Bishop in the Corrientes
province of N.E.Argentina near the Paraguayan border. They were
caught in densely planted areas with a gravel bottom, the water
was quite limpid and they are always living alongside C.
aeneus and C.
paleatus. In the winter the water
temperature gets down to between 10 to11ºC (47-49ºf)
and even as low as 7 to 8ºC (39-43ºf). Seemingly wild
hybrids with C. aeneus are very common. There is a similar
looking species from the Mato Grosso in Brazil which has been
given the C-number code of
C088. 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. Remarks: Lower temperatures in
the aquarium will be beneficial to this species. CW022 has now
been redescribed as being a colour form of C. undulatus
(Bono A. et al. 2019). |
