Species Spotlight | Sterba's Corydoras

[@Northerntide19]

I love my sterba cories. Been breeding them for about 6 months now. So fun, easy to keep.

[@joedirt5711]

How old were they when they started breeding for you?

[@Northerntide19]

@@joedirt5711 I was given a mature female, and picked up a couple more from the store. After about 3 months the males were breeding age, though the fertilization rate has increased a lot in the last 6 months. I would say egg to sexually mature for males is roughly 6 months. Females a little longer.

@@Northerntide19 thanks for the info. Are they fairy tricky to spawn compared to bronze and pepper Cory's? I picked up a group of 8 the other day and they are all over an inch long by the looks of it. I'm gonna wait a few months or so and see if I have any luck.

Great video as always , and thank you for recommending the sand substrate as IME this fish from the 1st day you will get the message that any course gravel ( eco complete ) is just a bad idea to have a good chance to get your Cory's barbells damaged , with the infection potentially going to be the end of this awesome little water Hummingbird 💙💚

Hi Tom, What type of Corydoras are the much larger ones in the video? The silver ones with the orange color on their heads.

[@fluval]

They're Corydoras burgessi! 😎

What are those black spotted fish feeding next to the cories at 4:41?

[@fluval]

They're baby Ancistrus! 😊

[@FishHardGetLucky]
