Around here they cost about $5 each, and are usually imported as Corydoras reticulatus, a similar looking but somewhat rare species. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

I knew that plecos were super expensive down in Australia, but I thought Corydoras had more reasonable price tags. The C. sodalis here are five bucks each; wanna come over and pick some up? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

upikabu Fish Addict Posts: 591 Kudos: 393 Votes: 44 Registered: 08-Jun-2005	Around here, only the common cories (bronze, albino, peppered) go for less than AU$6. Pygmy and Habrosus around $7. All the less common ones are at least $10-15. One LFS even quoted me almost $40 for c. Rabauti! (They didn't have it in stock, but could get it from a local importer) -P

upikabu Fish Addict Posts: 591 Kudos: 393 Votes: 44 Registered: 08-Jun-2005	I saw some c. Gossei today at an LFS I've never been to, and they're $40 each (or 6 for $200 ). OTOH, at least they're not nearly as expensive as some of the BN's there (upward of $200)! Last edited by upikabu at 01-Jul-2005 05:41 -P

Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	I got my (real) C. reticulatis for 2.50 each. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

Angelman Enthusiast Posts: 188 Kudos: 77 Votes: 0 Registered: 01-May-2002	I got my pandas for $3 my bronze and peppered for $0.5 my gomezis for $15 Ps. I converted the currency so they are approx. Here you pay for the name and not the fish eg....you get discus for $9 but then halfblack angels (juveniles) go up to $17.5

zachjc_14 Enthusiast Posts: 205 Kudos: 211 Votes: 24 Registered: 20-Apr-2004	Due to incompetence of the employment my LFS charges one price ($2.99) for all cories. Thus when false-juliis come into stock they sell out within the hour.
