northland chic Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Has anyone got any or heard of these corys? I bought one a couple of years ago and a few months ago aquired another one a friend. Unfortunately I lost my big one about a month ago. Was shattered found him stuck in an ornament, we got him out but he died a couple of days later from his injuries. I think I've seen them in a petshop in Kamo (Whangarei) for about $26 but thats the only place. I think they were called Black Sail Corydoras. I'll be hunting around for sum more now mines all alone.

northland chic Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Went to the Kamo petshop the other day and they weren't there anymore! I finely had some $ to get more and their gone. They didn't know which one I meant and said they just get a few off the fish list at random. Best bet was to keep checking. So anyone out there seen or heard of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 If you are happy to pay freight, I would contact Organism in Christchurch as they get in quite a selection of corydoras regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northland chic Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Who thinks that this cory looks alot like Conaquavict's one in the posing cory thread? I only thought it was a delphax because thats the only one that looks smilar in my book. But only about a day before he posted that I had just seen a pic of corydoras Melanistus and it got me wondering. I tried to take a better photo but it came out much the same just a bit lighter. So any help would be appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I know that the Melanistus is and has been imported into NZ. But I have not heard of the other. I'd go for the Melanistus but then it could have been what they call a side-catch. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
