Sterba's Corydoras
Native Region: South America.
Temperament: Peaceful.
Feeding: Feed sinking pellets, flakes and freeze dried
foods.
Sexing: Mature females are larger
than males.
General Comments: Corydoras sterbai,
which is referred to as Sterba's Cory, Sterbai Cory, or Sterba's Corydoras, is a
peaceful, bottom-dwelling member of the armoured catfish group. Sterba's Cory is
often confused with Corydoras haraldschultzi, which is a different
species with a lighter background and darker spots.
Indigenous to the upper Rio Guapore in Brazil, South
America, Sterba's Cory prefers a dark, soft-bottom aquarium shared with upper to
mid-water dwelling species. A sparse array of plants, tepid clear water with
some current, and allowance for plenty of free-swimming space will provide an
optimal environment.
