Kane Corridor

Corydoras Kane, the scientific name Corydoras kanei, belongs to the family Callichthyidae (Shelled or callicht catfishes). The fish is named after the son of the scientist who discovered and described this species, Kane Grant. Catfish was discovered in 1998 in the Rio Negro basin, one of the largest rivers in South America. Moreover, it was discovered twice by two researchers independently of each other and assigned the identifiers C026 and C046, under which it was listed in the catalogs until 2011, until Grant established that it was the same species.

Maintenance and care

The catfish has been known in the aquarium hobby for many years, even before it received a scientific description and was listed under the identifiers C026 and C046. During this time, he successfully acclimatized, adapting to life in various environments, which can sometimes differ significantly from the conditions in their natural habitat. Keeping is simple, as with other fish it is important to provide clean water within the acceptable range of temperatures and pH / dGH values, which is achieved by regular maintenance of the aquarium. Nutrition should be balanced and include a variety of foods. For example, a good combination is obtained from dry and frozen sinking foods. We must not allow a situation where the Kane Corydoras will be forced to eat up for other fish. Due to its peaceful disposition, the catfish will get along well with most other freshwater species.
