Received my Sterbai Corydoras in good condition. They were active and healthy right after arrival. I kept them in a 10-gallon tank with other peaceful fish. They clean up leftover food and debris, which helps keep the tank tidy.

The fish arrived quickly and looked well cared for. I kept them in a group of five and they seem to be getting along well. They don’t stress other fish and are easy to maintain.

Great choice for a beginner aquarist. The fish are small, peaceful, and help keep the tank clean. I’ve had them for two months and they’re still active and healthy.
