    Like to share the experience I have. The Flight is Kind of Disastrous

    5 Sodalis
    2 Schwartzi
    1 Rabuati

    All the 5 Sodalis Corys wipe out after 2 days of arrival.
    I think the Schwarzi and Rabuati going strong and they will make it.

    I think I have just learned not to put 8 adult corys in a bag.
    And they need more water then thought, though air is important.

    Hi Dennis,

    Did you get the shops to pack it for your? I do bring fishes back from overseas and they are normally not a problem at all. Shrimps die easily though.

    Do add some Melafix for your cories in the meantime to help them cope with the transporation stress. By the way, Corydoras sodalis is still available in Singapore if you are interested. Let me know.

    Good luck with your cories.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    thanks guys. Guess I was trying to test the limit. 2ndly, to move back those Corys I have no plan to increase the numbers for breeding.

    So those moving to Singapore, is to allowed the remains to have more space and focus for breeding later.

    Packed myself as need to consolidate for the return. So not pure oxygen. []. But I have given them enough fresh air as I unpack in the car and plane. But seems like it doesn't help.

    Good news is my Orginal Corys Folk are doing very well in Singapore. No casualty since I left 3.5 months ago. The babies have grown a bit especially the 7 Youth Sterbais and the 15 Sterbai Adults.

    And a lot of "Taiwan" shrimps. They multiple like nothing.

    Do you have any problems passing those fishes thru the customs?

    Understand that friends come and go,
    but with a precious few you can hold on.

    Hi, could you share how you manage to carry the fishes and board the aircraft(I presume you hand carry into the cabin)without being stop please? From which airport did you manage to do it? Please share, I am very eager to know....

    The last time I attempted to do that from Hong Kong,.... you know the outcome.

    Subsequently I checked and confirmed that all livestocks(except humans of course) are banned from taking passenger aircraft by civil aviation law.
