    They are false bandit corys. Bandits are Corydoras Metae.

    Hehe, well I am glad I could help, assuming you actually got Sterbas that is...

    They actually have a nice setup there, I was looking for some bloodfin glass fish for a while now and finally we got some there. MY school of bloodfins are now 10 strong! :bigsmile:

    @Reedfish, not cool man, not cool. Why do you guys get all these awesome fish and we are stuck with only the usuals? Even finding BNPs these days seem to be a challenge.

    How much do they go for over there, if you don't mind me asking?

    Stunning fish I agree, but they tend to get a "little" large... I can get but they are R320 each... L190 & L191...

    Wonderboom Fish and Bird has a fresh water moray eel, still very small but would look amazing in its own tank:

    They also have a few horse faced loaches.

    @JJFury
    It was £45 (About R800)

    @Skye01

    Yup, it is a very nice fish.
    Was very tempted but I don't want all my wood converted to sawdust. So I left it.

    @Skye01, That is not a bad price at all. Can you also get other varieties of plecos? IfI would be interested, how do we go about it?

    We can get allot of L plecos but they are expensive as most will cost over R500 a fish and not many people are willing to pay that so we dont order them

    Prices of Plecs here vary quite a lot.
    The common species are fairly reasonable.
    But for something rare, you will pay.

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't follow the point you are trying to make?
