Error, what store did you get the fish from? I wouldn't mind driving over to Detroit to take a look...

I got the C. sterbai from 101 Aquariums on Van Born between Telegraph and Beech in Taylor. They were in with a bunch of other cories priced as Mixed Cories: $3.99 or 2 for $6. Since the store deals predominantly in cichlids, I suspect they either didn't know or didn't care that these guys usually get $10-$15 each. I think I took all they had, but I'll definitely let you know if they get more in.

I have lost one that didn't look good to begin with, and another has a pretty torn up pectoral fin. But the rest look fairly healthy and blended right in with the small school I've been building.

I got the Microrasbora kubotai from The Aquarium Shop on Main St. in Royal Oak just north of 11 Mile. I was in there again last week and told the guy who does the ordering that I'd be interested in more. He said he'd see what he can do and took my number. Haven't heard anything yet. But I'll be certain to take a way closer look next time I see "Green Rasboras" on a tank

I got Corydoras pygmaeus for $1.49 each. Not bad for no shipping, considering I live in the middle of nowhere, upstate NY.
I got some CR's up here too, but they weren't a great deal at $4.99 each, and they don't have males. At least I didn't have to pay shipping....

Man, you all are making me sick with all of these good deals

I'm fairly new to this area, but so far, a good deal around here is getting half of the fish from the LFS to survive for more than a few days! I have even had to correct the LFS employees when I had to return a few dead Cardinals. They insisted they were Neons. Had to show them my receipt to prove it. Out of 12, I now have 3. That is pretty sad.
