Looking for the ultimate bottom-dweller for your community tank? These are home-bred Sterbai Corydoras (Corydoras sterbai), one of the most sought-after Cory species thanks to their striking white-on-black spotting and bright orange "highlights" on their fins.
- The "clean-up crew": They are tireless scavengers that will keep your substrate clean of leftover food.
- Temperature hardy: Unlike many other Corys, Sterbai can handle warmer water (up to 82 F), making them the #1 choice for Discus or German Blue Ram tanks.
- Peaceful personalities: Completely peaceful and incredibly fun to watch as they "snuffle" through the sand together.
Quick care stats:
- Temp: 74-82 F
- Substrate: Prefers sand or smooth gravel to protect their delicate barbels.
- Diet: Sinking pellets, wafers, and live Daphnia.
Important live shipping: All live fish and snails MUST be shipped via UPS Next Day Air or UPS Next Day Air Saver. Next Day Air is advised for those further from Illinois for the best safety for your aquatic friends. Ground and free options are strictly for local event pickups. Out-of-state orders using pickup options will be invoiced separately for overnight shipping before being sent.
