Another undescribed species given the number by CorydorsWorld of CW120. Was in the hobby previously as C. narcissus "spotted" and C. sp. "Purus". Lineage: Placed in Lineage 1. When there is a revision they will stay as Corydoras (Lacépède, 1803) with the type species of C. geoffroy La Cépède, 1803. Aquarium Care: As this is one of the longer snouted species it will be well suited to most community tanks. A well planted tank with a soft substrate such as sand so they can bury their snouts while searching out food. Diet: Readily accepts a mixed and varied diet which includes granular foods, tablet food, frozen bloodworm a and good quality flake. |
