Unlike most Corys, it features white dots on a dark head, creating a beautiful contrast that really stands out in planted aquariums. Peaceful, playful, and compact in size, this species is ideal for community tanks and nano setups alike.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"485\" data-end=\"802\">A hardy bottom-dwelling scavenger, Sterbai Corys prefer sand or smooth gravel to protect their delicate barbels. They thrive in groups and display engaging schooling behavior when kept in numbers. Easy to care for and completely plant-safe, they are also compatible with peaceful fish, snails, and adult dwarf shrimp.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"804\" data-end=\"807\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"841\">What We Like About This Fish<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"893\">Striking dappled pattern across the entire body<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"896\" data-end=\"930\">Interesting and playful behavior<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"969\">Completely peaceful and plant safe<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"972\" data-end=\"992\">Thrives in schools<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"995\" data-end=\"1035\">Possible to breed in the home aquarium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1040\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1042\" data-end=\"1073\">Recommended Tank Parameters<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1114\"><strong data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1092\">Temperature:<\/strong> 23\u00b0\u201326\u00b0C (73\u00b0\u201379\u00b0F)<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1136\"><strong data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1124\">pH:<\/strong> 6.0 \u2013 7.6<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1159\"><strong data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1146\">KH:<\/strong> 0 \u2013 15 dKH<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1162\" data-end=\"1222\"><strong data-start=\"1162\" data-end=\"1184\">Minimum Tank Size:<\/strong> 10 gallons (school of 6+ recommended)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1227\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1248\">Care Guidelines<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1373\"><strong data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1260\">Diet:<\/strong> Omnivorous \u2014 high-quality flakes, sinking pellets and wafers, plus frozen foods such as bloodworms and tubifex<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1376\" data-end=\"1444\"><strong data-start=\"1376\" data-end=\"1396\">Social Behavior:<\/strong> Peaceful; must be kept in groups of 6 or more<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1447\" data-end=\"1507\"><strong data-start=\"1447\" data-end=\"1458\">Origin:<\/strong> Tank-bred (species native to Bolivia &amp; Brazil)<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1563\"><strong data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1533\">Average Adult Size:<\/strong> 5 \u2013 6.4 cm (2 \u2013 2.5 inches)<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1566\" data-end=\"1611\"><strong data-start=\"1566\" data-end=\"1592\">Average Purchase Size:<\/strong> ~2.5 cm (1 inch)<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1659\"><strong data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1630\">Shrimp Safe:<\/strong> YES (safe with adult shrimp)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":109,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"etheme_brands":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[23],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-108","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-corydoras","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.8 (Yoast SEO v27.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sterbai Cory Catfish (Corydoras Sterbai)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Buy Sterbai Cory Catfish (Corydoras sterbai).
