Live Tropical Fish Sterbai Cory (Corydoras sterbai)

Sterbai Corydoras (Corydoras sterbai)

The Sterbai Corydoras is one of the most popular and sought-after Cory catfish in the aquarium hobby. Known for its striking white spots set against a dark body and its vibrant orange pectoral fins, this beautiful bottom-dweller adds both color and activity to any freshwater aquarium.

Peaceful, hardy, and highly social, Sterbai Corys thrive in groups and spend their days actively scavenging the substrate in search of food. Their playful nature and constant movement make them a favorite among both beginner and experienced aquarists.

Unlike many other Corydoras species, Sterbai Corys tolerate warmer temperatures, making them an excellent companion for tropical community fish such as angelfish, discus, tetras, and dwarf cichlids. They are especially attractive in planted aquariums where their unique patterning truly stands out.
