Relevant Information: |
Similar looking to C. agassizii from the Rio Amazonas near Tabatinga in Brazil but found in a different location and with a slightly different colouration. Lineage: Included in Lineage 8 (sub-clade 4) 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 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. |
