Information: |
First arrived in imports
as a contaminant of C.
virginiae.
Aquarium Care: As this is one of the longer snouted
species it will be well suited to most community tanks. A well planted
tank with a soft substrate such as sand so they can bury their snouts
while searching out food. 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. |
