Sterbai Corydora

A traditional Amazon River style biotope is best for Sterbai Cory. While they technically don’t come from the Amazon River, the conditions of their natural habitat are quite similar.

However, keep in mind that Sterbai Cory catfish are bottom dwellers! Down there, decaying plants and animals make the environment slightly more acidic.

Beyond that, Sterbai Corys can adapt to a wide range of freshwater environments. As long as the parameters stay stable within the accepted ranges, they will flourish.

pH levels: 6.0 to 7.6

Water hardness: 0 to 15 dKH
