They tend to be pretty hardy. More so than pandas but less so than paleatus or aneaus. They have no special requirements as to care. Checkout planetcatfish for breeding info.

I love my arcuatus (skunk haha) corys! Theyre so hard to find, though....I find them to be pickier eaters (still haven't found anything they really like) but quite hardy. Some people say they are very sensitive to water problems, but I've never found that to be wholly true...once, during a mini cycle, I realized the water was up to 2.0ppm ammonia and 2.0 ppm nitrite, and the corys only had their dorsal fins slightly down (thats what alerted me to the problem).
