Information: |
This
species is almost identical to Corydoras eques from Brazil,
but differs slightly in body shape and colour pattern. It has been
given the CW number of 043. There are three species that are very
similar. The species depicted here was collected alongside C.
rabauti in the upper Ucayali in Peru. The other,
also from Peru, is captured alongside C.
zygatus and has been given the CorydorasWorld number
of CW007.
The other species is the true Corydoras
eques from Brazil.
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. |
