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. |
