Sterbai Corydoras Care

Sterbai Corydoras are social schooling fish and should ideally be kept in groups of 6 or more. Larger groups allow them to display more natural behavior and provide a more active and engaging aquarium.

Use fine sand or smooth substrate to protect their sensitive barbels. Live plants, driftwood, rocks, and other aquarium decorations provide additional surfaces for exploration and hiding.

Maintain clean, well-oxygenated water and perform regular water changes for optimal health.
