Title: Corydoras habrosus or Salt and Pepper Cory
Post by: ksj on February 21, 2018, 11:31:49 AM
I've had two of these tiny guys for..at least 2 years now I think. I've been unable to find more anywhere. I've called Big Als every few months without luck. So I thought I'd bring my inquiry to this forum.
Does anyone know where I can purchase some of these adorable little guys? Whatever it be online or if someone who works at Big Als can keep an eye out for them?

Oh my, I know your pain. They have been generally hard to get into stores recently. I think because of problems in catching them in the wild. I believe they are generally wild caught.

They have been in both big Al's and critter jungle over the last few months as I bought some. Problem is as soon as they are in store, they generally sell very fast.

I will keep an eye out for if I see them again.

If you give Jason @ Critter Jungle a call during the week he can usually either special order them for you or let you know when they'll be coming in 😊
