CW169 Cory

Origin:. Wild Colombia. Habitat:. Substrate should be sand, but rounded gravel is an imperfect alternative. Avoid keeping over rough edged (chipped) gravel or sharp sand. This will increase the risk of damage to the fishes barbels when it tries to dig.

The shade provided by overhanging rock work, arching bogwood, tall or floating plants are all that is required to settle a group of these fishes.. Diet:. Insects, invertebrates, most sinking frozen & prepared feeds.. Behavioural Traits:. Peaceful, excellent community fish.. Water Parameters:. Temperature: 25-28C. pH: 6.0-7.5
