Overview
The Sterbai Corydoras is a premium, highly sought-after species that commands immediate attention in a display tank. They feature a gorgeous, dark chocolate-brown body intricately patterned with a dense network of bright white dots on the head and zebra-like white stripes down the flank. The ultimate standout feature, however, is their vibrant, glowing neon-orange pectoral fins. Beyond their striking looks, Sterbais are heavily favored by Australian hobbyists because they tolerate significantly higher water temperatures than most other Corys, making them the number one choice to live alongside Discus, German Blue Rams, and other warm-water species.
