This species comes from the same area as C. weitzmani but is found in slower and deeper water. This beautiful species is quite rare in the hobby. Lineage: Placed in Lineage 7 alongside other members of the so called "aeneus group" with the designated type species: C. eques. A revision and description of CW016 in the future would constitute the resurrection of the genus name Osteogaster (Cope, 1871). 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. |
