How your order gets to you
- I health-check and hand-pack every order myself. Fish and shrimp go in oxygen breather bags, and everything is insulated with heat or cold packs to suit the weather.
- Livestock and plants go out by express post on a Monday, and most orders arrive in 1 to 3 business days.
- If the weather is too hot or too cold, I will let you know and hold your order until it is safe to send.
- If anything arrives dead, take a photo in the bag and email me within 24 hours. I will refund or replace it.
- When your order arrives, my acclimation guide walks you through settling them in.
Corydoras Similis, also known as the Smudge Spot Cory or Violet Cory Catfish, is a real find for anyone who loves the classic cory look but wants something a bit less common in the hobby. They have that soft grey and black patterning that comes up beautifully once they are settled and coloured up, sometimes developing a lovely violet tinge as they mature, and they spend their days pottering along the substrate in a way that never gets old to watch.
