i have 2 of those albino sterbai. But i don't think they look as good as the normal ones.

If you have have a chance to explore them really up close, you will find interesting body markings on them. The white spots is still there, but very muted.

i think the original version looks cuter =) the albino at sucha close up looks like a monster! are sterbais supposed to have the yellow tinge throughout the body benny? the ones in my fiancee's tank only have the yellow fins

The fish has orangy colored fins. The yellow is more pronounced here due to the color of the substrate.

Cheers,

Will look at them real close and find out more. Not sure why i bought them too. Maybe impulse buy. But now i think i am stuck with the idea of a cory tank in mind.

Corydoras napoensis is currenly available at C328 if I'm not wrong. They are very active fishes and will also swim in the mid levels of the tank. Very nice! One of my favorites!! Now I feel like going to get 20 pieces for my tank! You guys are terrible.

Cheers,

Oh, now I gotta go C328 already. Wait, I have no more tanks. Darn!

poison poison... i have a relatively empty 3.5ft now with just 7 sterbais... poison poison... die... would a species tank or a mixture or 'rojak' cory tank be nicer in your opinion? benny is now the official aq poison-er!!!! haha.. one shot poison at least 3 guys....

[luenny]

Went to C328 during lunch just now. Saw some very nice corys. Looks like c. napoensis but the black marking is darker. Very very nice. So tempting!

Huh? I'm the victim here! Now I'm thinking of a Corydoras tank!

I think this will be very nice to keep with Corydoras sterbai.



Many will be confused by which is which!

Since you have such a large tank, have you considered larger specimens?



These are one of my favorite too. Actually, they all are.

Meeting start.
"Hi, I am Bryan. I am a Coryholic. I get depression when visitng Wuhu,C328.."

It takes alot of discipline to do a species only tank. I started with pandas and sterbais and ended up with 7 types of cory in my tank. So stick with only one type or two or.. .

[pepe2403]

I personally feel that a species tank would be nicer. But then again one will have to control the urge to buy when other nice speices are spotted during LFS visits.

[luenny]

Argggh!! Stop all this talk about cory species tank already. You guys are dangerous. Worse still Benny is posting cory photos all over the place. Darn!!

[benny]

Yes. I suppose you are right luenny. All talk, no action, no point.

I'm going to get off my butt and get some Corydoras this weekend then. Hope they have some nice ones. I would like some Corydoras simulatus and Corydoras napoensis.

By the way, these beautiful fishes makes great photography subjects. Great to 'burn' a few hours on a rainy sunday afternoon. Do consider.

Cheers,

[pepe2403]

I strongly agree with benny. I am going to clear my tank soon. And maybe get some sterbai's over the weekend.

[luenny]

Hahahaa .... too bad my spare tank is already occupied by shrimps. I'm seriously considering c. napoensis in a non-planted (or not heavily planted) species tank. Maybe after I remove my discus.

[pepe2403]

Just a question. What do you call C. sterbai in chinese? Anyone can help me so i can tell the LFS uncle what i actually want? Told him C. sterbai but he told me he don't know english name.

红翅满天星鼠 ?

金豹鼠 - seen this written in Y618

[pepe2403]

Ah thanks Freshman. Will tell those names to the LFS owner and see if he get what i want.

[iwishweallcouldwin]

Benny, leave some for me over the weekend! i would prefer smaller ones as compared to the larger ones, looks cuter!

agree that a species tank will look cool, especially when the whole lot start schooling and interacting with one another as well! but seriously i don't think i have the discipline to stick to one or two specimens only! was thinking of sterbais, pygmy and pandas before this thread started, but now judging from the various options which benny has offered to everyone, i have to reconsider my options!!

somebody stop me!!!

[aquanatix]

Keeping 10 pygmy in a 1footer would look nice with some fine sand and a little flora?
My pygmy females are starting to look a little round and ready,thanks to benny and his beautiful pictures i'm now convinced to start a single species CUM breeding tank!
Argh...cory fever,nice to see so many enthusiasts!
On a side note,with the amount of cory lovers here,we'd probably qualify for our very own cory fanclub!And like bryan mentioned,EVENTUALLY leading to a cory support group as well!

[benny]

Species tank..... So tempting..



But I suppose Clint is right. It will be hard to keep it as a species tank. In the end, it will be a 'rojak' tank.

Cheers,

[celticfish]

Gold-lines! hehe I still have seven survivors from the last season.
btw guys and gal, in case you haven't realized yet and though he hasn't told me directly, corys are one of benny's favourites!!
