Relevant Information: |
Was first given the C-Number of 57 in the German Datz magazine of March 1997. Known by the common name of Corydoras 'Nordestini'. Lineage: Included in Lineage 8 (sub-clade 2) with the "intermediate long-snouts" with deeper bodies. 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. |
