Sterbai Cory Catfish (Corydoras sterbai) is a high-end bottom-dwelling centerpiece known for its bold white spotting over a rich dark body and striking orange pectoral fins. Unlike most Corydoras, Sterbais are especially comfortable in warmer water, making them a perfect match for discus-style and premium community setups.
Naturally peaceful and highly social, they should always be kept in groups of 6 or more, where their constant foraging and synchronized movement create a calm, active presence along the substrate. They spend their time sifting sand and leftovers, helping keep the tank clean while adding nonstop motion to the lower level of the aquascape.
Hardy, elegant, and endlessly useful, Sterbai Corys are one of the most refined choices for any serious community aquarium.
