Tank-Raised Corydoras Sterbai
Sterbai's cory runs a striking orange wash through the pectoral fins against a body covered in fine white spots on black — a pattern crisp enough that it's become one of the most recognizable corys in the hobby. It also tolerates warmer water than most Corydoras, which historically made it the go-to cory for discus and other warm-water community tanks where other corys would struggle.
Care level: Easy · Temperament: Peaceful, shoaling · Max size: ~2.5" · Min tank: 20 gal · Diet: Omnivore, sinking pellets + occasional live/frozen
