    C328 fish...
    saw them yesterday
    I like the first one like Phillipians mentioned, looks like corydoras hastatus
    http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species...oras-hastatus/...

    last one is in the feeder fish packets... looks interesting...
    closer look , it looks like the bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) I might be wrong though just looking at its shape reminds me of this fish

    Why is corydoras hastatus so expensive at $7 per piece? The phillipino maid there told me it wasn't a cory.. which I thought otherwise

    Are choco gourami aggressive? I would like to house them with smaller fish like green neon tetra

    Looks like the carp can grow quite big. Is it available in sg waters?

    I guess Corydoras hastatus is expensive because its hard to come by as it is seasonal. Besides it is best if you buy a school of them as they are closely bonded schooling fish. always amaze to see them swimming together

    Corydoras hastatus is one of the most interesting fishes I ever see, unlike most of the corys, they can be bottom feeder, mid feeder and even top feeder. They are hard to come by and currently a few brings and only green chapter consistently brings in and at cheaper price. They school tightly and they are gentle with shrimps....
