Information:
As C. carlae is from
Argentina so a lower temperture as per the conditions
for the Scleromystaxspecies
would probably suit this Corydoras. Similar
pattern to the larger C.
paleatus. Placed
in Lineage 6 which has always been classified as Corydoras
(Lacépède, 1803) so a new genus would
need to be described and a new type species when a
new revision is carried out. 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. Remarks:
Will sport yellow fins and barbels when in good condition.
