The latest CW number (2022)
from the CorydorasWorld website. Similar looking as
to C057 from
Pernambuco, Brazil. Lineage: Placed
in Lineage 8 (sub-clade 2) with the "intermediate
long-snouts" with deeper bodies. Aquarium
Care: This is akin to most of this genus,
very peaceful, and would be best housed with small
to medium sized tankmates such as Tetras, Rasboras
and Danios or in a species tank for breeding purposes.
Best to purchase 6 individuals or more as they will
be happier in a group. Diet: Readily
accepts a mixed and varied diet which includes granular
foods, tablet food, frozen bloodworm and a good quality
flake.
