Corydoras sterbai (Sterba's Corydoras) are among the most popular of the numerous currently known species within the Corydora classification


Corydoras sterbai
One reason Corydoras sterbai are so sought-after is because of their beautiful markings. In contrast to the majority of corydoras, which have the colors reversed, the heads of these fish feature white dots on a black background. The black and white dots on their bodies create a stunning visual contrast. Their behavior is similar to that of their cousins, the Corydoras paleatus catfish. They're small enough to fit in a home aquarium, with a maximum length of about 2-1/2 inches.

Because they live in stable water conditions, these catfish are incredibly easy to care for. Because they are bottom-dwelling scavengers, they do best in aquariums with a smooth substrate (such as sand or gravel). Our catfish come in a school of three because they are known to perform best in groups of three or more. Fish food flakes or pellets, freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, frozen brine, and live worms are all acceptable diets for these omnivorous fish. Even snails, shrimps, and plants can be safely housed with them because they are all peaceful.
