I have seen some corys in my local store under the name of Corydoras duplicareus, they look similar to adolfoi. What is the info on this species, and how easy are they to keep please?

It's in the Cat-elog.

IME, they are quite hardy, and once you start them off breeding, they will spawn very regularly. I lost a couple when they first came in to a septicemia, but the rest have been fine for several years now.

Thanks guys, I've had a look on the E-Catalog and it is the same species. I might give it a go.

C. duplicareus and C. adolfoi are almost identiclal visually, where they actually differ in in the pectoral fin spines, C. duplicareus has a heavily serated posterior edge, where as C. aadolfoi is almost smooth.

Both species are fairly hardy but prefer water a little on the warm side, somewhere in the upper seventies is ideal.

Next time I go to the store I will make sure that I have my magnifying glass with me (!)

Thanks, Ian, much appreciated.
