Brochis multiradiatus

Post by joern »

Hello,

is there anybody here having experience with Brochis multiradiatus ?
Questions:
What food ?
There are infos about "only red" = tubifex, red bloodworms etc and another keeper said "everything" as other Corys.

Tank size? What would be minimum size for a group of 5 to 6 (or more) specimen ? Is it a more "active type" like B.splendens ?

Temperature?
Reported is 20 to 24°C in the literature, but theres is also some experience on the warmer side (27-28°C). Or just try ?

Thanks for your response.
best regards

I've kept a group of 6 just fine in a 10gal. tank with sand and drift wood.for over 2yrs. I've been feeding them just like any other of my corys. some brine shrimp ,blood worms,spiralina flake and tablet food.as far as temp. mine have been from 25c.-27c. with no ill affects. I hope this helps you a little..
what's the matter?---cat got you'r tongue.
