Corydoras

ryohll

I'm a overly cautious person when it comes to online ordering of live fish.

But recently it may seem i am forced to online revenues because of the lack of enthusiasm my LFS have on the fish hobby.
Unfortunately the LFS around my area stock only asian oriented fish for asian households and i don't blame them it is after all a asian suburbia. (no offence i am asian myself)
Trans aquarium the once reputable LFS also succumbed to this 50% all goldfishes and the other 50% are a strange mix of false algea eaters and the common chiclids most asian have (electric blues and yellows)
There are just no LFS that do a varied range of tropical fishes like they used to anymore.

I'm in particularly after corydoras, which they aren't very optimistic in getting in.
And would like to hear from others who have ordered from livefish how their experience was
in particular the two types
Corydora Pygmaeus http://www.livefish.com.au/tropicals/catfish/corydoras-pygmaeus-2cm.html
Corydoras Aeneus Neon Green Stripe http://www.livefish.com.au/tropicals/catfish/corydoras-aeneus-neon-green-stripe-3-5cm.html

I have never ever seen Corydoras so metalic and golden as the picture shown on the livefish site do the Corydoras Aeneus Neon Green Stripe really look like that?

I have ordered plants from Livefish.com.au before which was a good result other than the need to remove all the pond parasites that came with the order (leeches , snails etc)
Also anyone who has experience with keeping the two types of corydoras do share please, i'll practically read anything about them.


Thanks in advance

hi rhyoll,

my LFS warns me against livefish! if you were happy with plant orders, why not go ahead? the shots are best of though, remember, and for me ordering a school of rather expensive fish (as I believe those corys are) would make me a little nervous anyway.

shame re: your LFSs, around sydney city/north there are heaps; very passionate etc

If you want directly imported google fishchicks aquatics. It's not gonna be cheap though.

thanks i might need to travel further into the city for other LFS I am in sydney base.
So no one here ordered any cory's from livefish.com.au themselves?
Aquadisiac in Surry Hills seems pretty good might have to visit them

i have ordered corys from livefish, they were good quality.. these were not pygmy or green laser corys though.
Aquadisiac is a very nice store, with very good stock, but very expensive i must say.. they have nice pencilfish, malawian cichlids and apistos.. alos a giant display with saratoga and motoro rays <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

The LFS in canberra i work at actually get our tropicals from live fish. their always great quality i must say

the corydoras are always healthy but they do tend to be on the skinny side when we get them. but hey nothing a little food cant fix

I'm getting peppered and Pygmy cories in the next week or two from livefish. I'll let you know how it goes if you like.

There's an apparently good fish shop in Rockdale. I've never been t it though. I do know one in western Sydney that has a few Cory species in regular stock.

Livefish do a credit or a refund if the corys don't arrive alive so thats a plus. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

It was that very guarantee that gave me the confidence to buy online. I'm so excited, waiting for these fish!

ryohll

That's very reassuring i think i will have to go with livefish on those corys
I am just waiting for the plants to establish abit in the tank as i have it planted out abit.
Also anyone have corys live along with the red cherry shrimps?

Brengun

Yes I have corys with cherry shrimp. Make sure the shrimp have little hidey spots to sit away from cories when they shed their old skin and wait to harden up the new one.

Hi all. I am looking for corydoras in Melbourne. This site doesn't seem to be working. Well, I tried this link https://www.corydorasworld.com/fish-sales - no fish for sale. Can anyone suggest where to buy good corydoras in Melbourne?

Did you finally solve your problem? Because I see that your links lead to pages that don't exist.
