They are found in blackwater habitats so they appreciate dark, warm, acidic water with plenty of botanicals. This species was the first to receive a \"C number,\" C001, which is a code used to identify the type of \u003cem\u003eCorydoradinae\u003c\/em\u003e until it receives an official species name.
