Got 12 of these today. Bought as a breeding colony.

Sweet looking cories. I cant decide if I am going to get Julii's or the Sterbai's once my 120 gets setup.

Susan,

That is a gorgeous fish! Congratulations!
Are they wiled, or tank raised?

Thanks,
Aram

archer772:
Also take a look at C.punctatus, C.trilineatus and c.similis very nice fish.
I also discovered for my self c.adolfoi the pattern is a little different, but very nice tricolor fish.

They are F1's, first spawn of wilds that a friend of mine has. What I didn't know about sterbai is that they can release a toxin if stressed. So they are kept in a low light situation.

I got these "spotted" corydoras from petco the other day, tank was spotless an no death so rescued em, tossed em in the 10g and they are doing great, they look weird tons of black spots then a robber style mask over the eyes.

I did not know that either! Are they the only corydoras that do this? I love those though, their pattern is beautiful. The Julii's are cute too...I believe my LFS carries those. After I purchase all of my Harlequins I'll be getting my cories!

With Julies you have to be careful as they are often confused with the 3 line cories. They look basically the same, but if you look closely there is a little difference in the spots.

I'm not sure if the sterbai is the only ones that releases toxin. Got to do a lot more reading on them.
