Care guide at a glance
Hoplisoma duplicareum
Description
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
Soft sand substrate is strongly recommended. Sharp gravel wears down the barbels, and a cory that has lost them struggles to feed.
