Wanted: Corydoras Sterbai and Corydoras Barbatus

Hi All....
Does anyone know where I can get some of these Corys?
Looking for 8 - 10 of each for breeding purposes.
I am in Cape Town but will gladly ship from elsewhere too.
Any help will be appreciated.

 

hey welcome to TASA!.

dont know the Ct shops at all, but the Sterbai's should be an easy find? but those Barbatus, never laid eyes on them yet! so i dont know if you will be able to find any?

 

try our ocal petstore those come in quite often! if you want ill pm you where i have seen them before.

 

do you get those Barbatus in CT? lucky fish! we are lucky to find some Banded cory's!

 

Bird's Haven Petshop in Somerset West currently have a very nice group of C sterbai and they also have some C hastatus or pygmy corys which are rare at the best of times. They have very nice other Corys as well and a visit there is quite worthwhile.

Kind regards,

Dirk

 

Pets Paradise (The one op Checkers in Main Rd Somerset) also has some Sterbai

 

Just saw on the net that C Barbatus has been reclasses as Scleromystax barbatus. So not really a true Cory any more. See http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/_species.php?species_id=26

 

true! a friend got 8 pigmy cories there last weekend very nice little fish.

 

Hi Dirk

Thank you for the advice - much appreciated.
By the way, we have met before...
Manuel here.
We met a couple of years ago when I brought in some fish from the Amazon.

If it's you, Manny...
you're gonna go especially crazy when you see what fish I have, and these are the leftovers!

It's Liaquat
You should contact me, I haven't forgotten the work we put in getting your hatchery going.

I have a few items I know are your "flavour" ..lol
