need advise. I saw some 1/4 inch cories in lfs, they are labeled as skunk, but they don't look like adult, they look more like duplicareus, do small skunks look like duplicareus?
Was tempted to buy, but in my experience this size is quite sensitive? but these small cories are going for 1/4 the price of adult duplicareus. was thinking that thye might be duplicareus:)
any advise. ?

1/4 inch -> 6mm. To me that is "newborn", and nowhere near ready to sell. Can you confirm the size (in inches or metric)?

it has the shape and color of duplicareus, but also not sure if skunks will look like duplicareus when small?
they are labeled as skunks.

In my personal opinion, I would leave fish that is that small in the shop.
And I think it will be hard to properly ID fish that are around 1/4 of the full-grown size.

Yes, me too. But I do believe some shops will sell just about anything...
