Then assume the worst and that you're getting gipped.

As you can see, said seller has the identical fish on his stocking list, right down to the "NEW"s added behind the common name and the linquistic accents on the letters. Even the word placement is identical. Either said seller is the very same wholesaler whom you're getting your fish from (which is unlikely, as he's based in the UK), or you've been fed a faulty stocklist.

Done and done.

Heres the direct importers list.

He is a partner of the wholesaler that I will be buying from.
If you have any more questions about it then you can contact him yourself.

I recall actually contacting this seller asking if he would ship to the US after seeing his personal on AC, but I never recieved an answer. I highly doubt one wholesaler would provide his services to both England AND America; it's not economically efficient. It's not out of the realm of imagination that you took the list directly from the Aquarium Classified page, for what reasons, I do not know.

Could it be possible that the same 2 peoples could get their fish from the same exporter. Why would you be suspicious of me, all I did was ask for some help picking out cories. I did not try to sell any thing or promote anything. Does every fish store get their stock from a different wholesaler.

So you do not find it the least bit suspicious that he has blatanatly plagiarized off of a known wholesaler's AC personal, and has the very same corydoras and characins, many of which are incredibly rare?

I suggest, at the very least, you check out his or her facility, and bring back some pictures for us to see. At this point, I'm very suspicious of the seller, and, admittedly, you.

I would get some Agasizzi Corydoras, Arcuatus Corydoras & Julii Corydoras.

Just on a personal note, I would not want to buy fish from somebody who can't even spell the scientific names correctly. I especially wouldn't trust them with the more expensive fish, it's just too much of a risk.

It dont matter since the guy Im getting the fish from is located in the same town as me.

Im gonna move my SA community to my 125g. I need some more cories though, I already have schwartzis. Heres the list of all the ones I can pick through.

Evelinae Corydoras
Huanta Corydoras
Agasizzi Corydoras
Algodón (Noronha) Corydoras sp. NEW
Ambiacus Corydora
Arcuatus Corydoras
Semiaquilus Corydoras
Ellegans Corydoras
Gold Peru striped Corydoras aeneus
Green cat Brochis splender var.
Green jumbo Corydoras multiradiatus
Julli Corydoras

Bondi Corydoras
Pigme Corydoras
Punctatus Corydoras
Leucomelas Corydoras
Rabauty Corydoras
Reticulatus Corydoras
Napoensys Corydoras

Im not importing from europe. All these fish are directly imported from south america. Obviously Im not gonna get any of the redicously priced ones. The person that Im getting all of these from doesn't have a price list yet and I have to ask him the prices for each fish. The narcissus are 18$ so ya no can do there. Any other suggestions Im looking for the easier to keep species of these

I found him. It's Ian Jordon, and it seems that he has the same exact characins and corydoraine catfishes that you have listed. Why, might I ask, would you want to import these species from Europe, further upping the price of an already drastically costly expidenture?

Out of all those, I like the Brochis multiradiatus and the Corydoras narcissus best. C. narcissus is one of my favorite longnosed cories, and the hognose is my favorite of the Brochis catfish.

EDIT: This list looks very similar to that of some AC seller, as he was one of few to have evelyns in stock, albeit at like, 200 or 250 a pop. Anyways, I would purchase the reticulatus; they are a relatively cheap, striking species.

Go with a shoal of Brochis multiradiatus, if you can afford it. Not only are they rare, but their bright green color and large size (they are the largest species in the subfamily Corydorinae) will make them a magnificent sight to behold.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Not rich but have good contacts, but yes some of them for price reasons I wont be getting, I just dont know which ones. So for now everything is open. Also these are all wild caught fish.

I assume that you must be filthy freaking rich to even consider filling a 125 with some of these species.
