If you have a peek on ebay there are people selling Corydoras and other fish, I bought some corydoras the other week for my 2ft fish tank off there and they are fine.

Hi Boxa,

Who did you buy them from on ebay.....and how were they packaged?
I use ebay quite often for equipment, etc and have always had good service...I think it's because people are afraid you might give them a bad review

I bought some more the other day,

The name of the seller: rescuespongebob!

They arrived in a thick polysterine box and secured in the box with polysterine chips, all the fish so far "touch wood" have been top quality from that seller, they only seem to sell Corydoras, Endlers or guppy's though.polystyrenepolystyrene

I love them, but are they not difficult to keep? You should also only keep one in a tank correct as they will fight otherwise?

Hi there,

That looked like a really great website but unfortunately they won't ship to the UK.
