Information: |
In Brazil called Corydoras
sp. ‘Semibicuda’, after its head shape. A rare species,
which is sympatric with
C.ourastigma
and
C.
similis. In the trade this species
is known as Corydoras ‘New Violet’, and in
Japan under the nomen nudum Corydoras ‘Matzusakae’.
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. |
