Relevant Information: |
Very similar to C. zygatus which has a slimmer profile. The fry of each of these two has proven that they are two seperate Corydoras species. (Fuller, 1980) This unique pattern in the fry can be seen on the 5th and 6th thumbnail by image contributor and breeder, Graham Ramsay. Lineage: Placed in Lineage 7 alongside other members of the so called "aeneus group" with the designated type species: C. eques. A revision in the future would constitute the resurrection of the genus name Osteogaster (Cope, 1871). 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. |
