albino sterbai cory

one of my albino sterbai cories. i still like the normal sterbai better.

so do I mate Sterbai seem to be hard to come by at the moment could do with some more myself

the albinos are hard to find also here in the states. reg sterbai are pretty easy.
usually all over aquabid. sometimes pretty cheap too!!

I'd guess that fish to be a regular albino bronzy, until you see the orange leading ray on the pectorals.
Interesting fish .

that's what sets it apart from the regular albinos.
bout the only way i know to tell them apart easily.

The normal Sterbai's are stunning. Before my current tank setup I had a group of 6 Sterbai along with 6 Jullii - lost them all after South West Water whacked a super load of chemicals into the water without telling anyone. PH went haywire - everything died. Now I phone and check before water changes and I should probably invest in an RO unit.

Cories are one of my favourite fishes. They go nuts for daphnia - well worth keeping a culture of the sinking variety. Dead easy all you need is a sunny spot, an old 2 litre water bottle and a starting culture. I always kept mind with a sandy bottom - they don't seem too keen on the bigger gravels and watching them nose around in the sand is a real joy.

i also like corydoras haraldschultzi. easy to confuse with sterbai.
i have some aspidoras. they are smaller couisons of corys. i posted
a pic of them on here also.

Nice pic mav.......
