Mango4Jade Posted July 29, 2005 Report Posted July 29, 2005 When I was visiting my LFS while walking home after Tafe, I discovered something weird. They got in lots of assorted corys (peppered, albino, bronze, sterbai and julii). The funny thing is that they used to only get in albinos and bronzes, but I was really amazed this time. Also they were the same price! Sterbais and juliis are about $10-$15 every where else in Sydney, but the price was 3 for $10. I thought I was dreaming and asked them if its the correct price, they said yes and its also the first time they got in assorted cory cats. I only managed to find a sterbai but i bought 5 juliis. They seem to like the aqua clay substrate in my planted tank. Then today I couldn't resist myself and I bought another 3 julii corydoras. Seriously if I had a bigger tank, I would have bought all the julii cory cats, they just look very attractive apart from the sterbai. If anyone in Sydney would like to know where I bought these corys please send me a PM. Cheers Mango ;)
Fishchick Posted July 29, 2005 Report Posted July 29, 2005 that's a bargain for Julies! Well done! I'm sure someone has made a mistake! : P
Chuckie Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 aw, they are adorable Mango. Excellent pictures too, as always.
Figure_8 Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 I'm a really big fan of Cory's and those are gorgeous! Absolute bargain too! :thumbs:
Jess Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 Gorgeous pics of them Mango! they look great all hanging out together!
Mishy Posted August 1, 2005 Report Posted August 1, 2005 mango, i've noticed a surge in the cory types down here in melbourne too! i used to only have bronze, albino and peppers but lately i've acquired some julii and similie (all under $10 each!!)...also panda corys are $5 each (but they are quite young).. we're awaiting on a local aquarium to get in some sterbai.. there's also some adult green corys going for $35 each but we're thinking of getting all 5 which have been in the tanks for at least 6 months now... all for $120 i'm in cory heaven down here... (although i'm still searching for the elusive adolfoi)
Callatya Posted August 7, 2005 Report Posted August 7, 2005 I'm pretty rotten with cory IDs, but to me, they look like real C. julii too. Thats pretty impressive! I didn't see the appeal of cories until I got rid of them now my tank seems all empty. Maybe some sterbais later on ;)
Robbies Betta Posted August 7, 2005 Report Posted August 7, 2005 I'm a big fan of Cories. They're just soo cute and u can get a variety of them also. great find Mango, and If I were u and with a bigger tank, it'd be full of the little things also *lol*
Halszka Posted August 7, 2005 Report Posted August 7, 2005 I found some pygmy cories at my LFS today I'm going to ask them to hold some for me until my new tank is all set up. I can't remember the price but they were something like 3 for $14, not expensive at all.
jtvbetta Posted November 6, 2005 Report Posted November 6, 2005 Some of my corys: Hike! Hike! It's a fumble!!! TOUCHDOWN!!! :)
Chuckie Posted November 6, 2005 Report Posted November 6, 2005 aw, I love the pandas, they are my favourite.
Betta_Di Posted November 6, 2005 Report Posted November 6, 2005 Sorry steve I don't think you have true julii there ... "True Corydoras julii have spots that are not reticulated (connected). The pics are of Corydoras trilineatus, also known as false juliis." from this link Sorry bout that, Di P.S. True julii are very very rare to find in our LFS :)
