Aquarium Care:
Similar in their requirements as to the Hartia genera
in that they are not the easiest species to keep as they will
need clean, oxygen rich water and a strong current. Diet:
Dry foods, algae wafers, Spirulina and normal tablet foods.
Frozen foods, Artemia nauplii, glass worms and Daphnia.
Remarks: similar to the Hartia genera
but the latter are heavier bodied looking and more flattened.
The belly is also near naked in Hartia wheras in the
Cteniloricaria species they are covered in bony plates. |
