Buying on the Internet

[Stevie G]

Hi Guys, I'm new to the site. I wondered if anyone out there could recommend any good internet suppliers for Cories? I cannot find the ones I want in any of the stores. Thanks, Stevie.

What species are you after? You are in the wrong part of the world for me to say about internet sales but you could post in the wanted section or look up the species in Cat-e-log & see if anyone near you keeps/breeds them.

There are usually a ton on www.aquabid.com from the seller corysrus and others. Aquabid is just like ebay, but for aquatic stuff. Generally there are live arrival guarantees, and there is a feedback system so you can check someone's reliability before bidding.

Just try www.corysrus.com. They only ship quarantined and conditioned Corydoras. The freight is outrageous but if you can't find what you want then ordering fish on line is a viable alternative. I live in a somewhat isolated location and ship in all my wild discus, plecos, Apistogramma and Corydoras.

Thanks Guys. It's Schwartzi's I'm after first, then a group of Concolor/Slate. I'll try these places first. Thanks.

You can probably get those species much cheaper at your local fish supplier if they are available for them to order.

You definitely should have no problem finding those locally. Keep in mind some cories aren't commercially raised in large numbers, so you're going to be dealing with a somewhat seasonal availability. You should definitely call around to your local stores and check for local sellers on aquabid. Living in the area you do, where a HUGE percentage of fish come in from overseas, you shouldn't be needing to spend the $60 on overnight shipping for fish. I can check around for stores that might carry them near you, if you don't have any luck.
