I was out driving across the country with work today and made a stop a pet shop in one of the neighboring towns.
The stock was pretty much what to expect from most non specialist shops but I did find one tank with mixed cories. In this tank there was only one individual of each species, some of them quite uncommon.
This is obviously a very strange way of selling Corydoras, I presume the mixed colours might appeal to new fish-keepers. Anyway I was delighted to see this young concolor as It will be a nice addition to my group and was resonably priced. Perhaps I should not encourage shops to sell cories this way but I felt sorry for the little guy.
This just shows that it’s always worth checking out the more standard pet shops as you never know what could lurk in the tanks.
Always be careful and quarantine your new fish though. This little lad will be in quarantine for a good few weeks.
