Relevant Information: |
Very similar to C075
from the Rio Madeira, but from a different river basin; there
is no evidence of specimens from the Rio Tapajos basin, which
lies between the Rio Madeira and the Rio Xingu. 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. |
