Corydoras loxozonus

7. September 2015

 

This
cory belongs to the most attractive members of the genus Corydoras and
is also very easy to keep. One should only remember that C. loxozonus –
it originates from the Rio Orinoco and its affluents – prefers higher
temperatures. So the water temperture should not sink below 25°C for
longer.

Currently
we can offer very nice and large wild collected ones. Among these wild
ones always some specimens appear that have a rather broken dorsal band.
Formerly these individual often were taken erroneously for Corydoras
evelynae. Now we know that Corydoras loxozonus can have a very variable
pattern. Most experts believe that even such aberrant fish like C82 and
C83 belong to that species.

For
our customers: Corydoras loxozonus has code 233705 on our stocklist,
C83 code 233753; the latter is available in very small numbers only.
Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
