I added a group of three Corydoras duplicareus to my 20-gallon community tank. They’ve been calm and active since arrival. The orange head markings stand out well against the dark gravel. I appreciate the note about needing a mature tank—my tank was cycled before introducing them. They seem happy and don’t stress other fish.

The fish arrived healthy and looked vibrant. I kept them in a group of four with other peaceful species. They don’t chase or disturb others. I’ve noticed they swim near the bottom and seem to prefer slightly cooler water. Easy to maintain once the tank is set up properly.

After reading the care notes, I made sure my tank was fully cycled. The fish acclimated quickly and have been active since day one. Their skunk-like pattern is very distinctive. I’m happy with the peaceful nature and how they blend into the tank without causing any issues.
