Sustainably bred and tank-raised, Sterbai Corydoras (Corydoras sterbai) make a hardy and wonderful addition to any freshwater aquarium. With their peaceful nature and diligent scavenging abilities, these fish not only add visual interest but also help maintain a clean and healthy environment for other aquatic life. We sell them at about 1 inch to 1.5 inches in length.
We recommend keeping these guys in groups of 3 or more for them to feel safe in a large school.
Sterbai Corydoras are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters. The following are our water parameters we keep them at:
Our Tank Water Parameters
PH: 7.2 to 7.5
GH: 7 to 8
KH: 3 to 4
TDS: 180 to 250
Temp: 72 to 75
We feed them a mix of live baby brine shrimp, frozen daphnia and high-quality flake food.

Healthy corycats, very cute and active! I had one that passed a few days in, but all the rest are thriving-- which is saying a lot considering how difficult sterbai cories are to ship! I love watching them all day at work, very distracting, definitely love them!
We ordered 2 of these guys for a smaller aquarium. We got a male and female, Frida and Klaus. They were so small and cute when they arrived. Since they have grown and made a few babies, which I have moved to a bigger aquarium. They are very fun to watch sifting through the sand and swimming around. They hang out with the shrimp and are a very nice addition to our aquarium.
