Relevant Information: |
This species was collected along side CW146, CW172 and CW173. Lineage: Placed in Lineage 9, the "short-snouted" species with the designated type species: C. punctatus. A revision and a description in the future would constitute the resurrection of the genus name Hoplisoma (Agassiz, 1846). 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: They will readily consume commercial foods such as flake, granular and tablet foods and frozen foods such as bloodworms and daphnia, like all fish they benefit from regular feedings of live foods such as Daphnia, Cyclops, Grindal worms and bloodworms. |
