Corydoras in Hong Kong..!

[vannel]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with buying Corydoras from HK. I am going to be visiting the country in November and would like to hear some first-hand information on which shops in the famed Goldfish Street are best in that respect.

Also, what are the rarer subspecies of cory available in HK that we cannot find in SG..? I would probably hand-carry some back if they are really worth it.

Please advise, Thanks!

Hmm. I thought I saw some C. Adolfoi awhile ago in an LFS. Might be wrong on the ID though. Thanks anyway!

Currently in the process of setting up a community tank and hoping to get possibly a small shoal of C. Hastatus, one other Corydoras subspecies (don't want too many different cories cause I'm worried the tank will look a little cluttered) and maybe some dither fish to fill up the space on top. Below are my tank specs, so, chip in with what you guys think I should populate my tank with..

Tank: 50 x 29 x 29
Filter: Eheim 2222
Substrate: Sudo Bottom Sand


Corydoras:

1. ???
2. ???

Fish:

1. ???
2. ???

I would suggest to put in some anubia into the tank.

As for hastatus, they are poor travellers. I used to get a friend to bring them back from HK. Would like to get my hands on them again.
