Duplicate Cory
A bronze-green cory with a bright metallic flank stripe, close in appearance to the common bronze cory but with a cleaner, more defined line. Hardy and straightforward.
Feeding
Sinking pellets, wafers and frozen foods. Food must reach the bottom in quantity – they will not thrive on what other fish leave behind.
Compatibility
Entirely peaceful. Keep in groups of six or more with any calm community fish.
Behaviour and personality
Busy bottom-dweller, working the substrate for food during the day, with periodic dashes to the surface for a gulp of air.
Before you buy
| Substrate recommendation | Soft sand substrate is strongly recommended. Sharp gravel wears down the barbels, and a cory that has lost them struggles to feed. |

Easy to care for and very active in the tank. I’ve kept them with neon tetras and they get along well. They constantly dig in the sand and seem to enjoy their food. Only issue is they need sinking food that reaches the bottom.

The color is very distinct from regular bronze cory. They’re peaceful and stay near the bottom. I noticed they need to be fed regularly with sinking foods. Works well in a community tank with guppies.

Great addition to my community tank. They’re hardy and don’t cause any issues. I use soft sand and feed them sinking pellets every day. They’re always active and seem happy.
