Relevant Information: |
Very similar to C.
rabauti and are sometimes difficult to tell
apart. C.zygatus is a slimmer fish, not so colourful
and grows larger. The fry of each of these two has proven that
they are two separate Corydoras species. (Fuller, 1980).
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. |
