Pigmy Cories In Birmingham Area

[nitrochicken]

Does anyone know where I can get some pigmy cories in the Birmingham area?
I've tried a few places including maidenhead aquatics stores in Earlswood and Stratford, they can order them in but I was hoping to get them this weekend.

Thanks

Prestwood Petzone sell them, a bit out of your way but still within the West Midlands.

When I went to Birmingham (some years ago) I stopped off at Shirley Aquatics and was impressed, might be worth giving them a ring to see if they have them in stock (0121 744 1300)

I called both stores and Prestwood petzone have approx 10 in stock. I'm not sure what pigmys they are but I'm going to have a look tomorrow and hopefully get some.
I'd not heard of Prestwood petzone before and they are not actually that far from me as I live in SW Birmingham anyway. What are they like, do they have a lot of fish there?

Thanks for the help

Usually a pretty good stock, but like all LFS they have their bad days, they do have a guy there that is good with corydoras though (or they used to, presume hes still there), Ive not bought a bad fish from there that I can remember so you should be ok.

Took a trip to Prestwood this morning and bought some Habrosus Corys and a few bits and bobs for my snake too. I was quite impressed with the place really, looks a but tatty as you go in but they have a pretty large selection in both the aquatic and reptile sections. I'm pretty sure they had all 3 types of pigmy cory. Prices good too, £1.50 each.
Otocinclus catfish £1.80, and I paid £4 each for some from Maidenhead aquatics yesterday

Anyway, the corys are looking very happy in my tank. They seemed to settle in straight away and have been merrily hoovering the sand all day!

Thanks

That's where I got mine from. I have 9 in my 12 gal. They hang around with my apple snail
