Information:
Corydoras
sterbai is sometimes confused
with Corydoras
haraldshultzi. The
difference being that C.sterbai has for simplistic reasons
a dark basic body colour with white spots on the head and snout
area, while C. haraldshultzi has it in reverse, a light body
with dark spots/ reticulations. Aquarium Care:
Corydoras sterbaiis much likeany other
speciesof the genus Corydoras, easy to keep
but will do better in a group as they are sociable animals and do
like their own company. They will also appreciate a bit of water
movement in the aquarium. Like
most of this genus they are very peaceful, and would be best housed
with small to medium sized tankmates such as Tetras, Rasboras and
Danios or in a species tank
for breeding purposes. Remarks: There is now a
man made albino varierty of Corydoras sterbai as can be
seen in the thumbnail gallery. Note the orange pectoral
spines.
