Ok so i was originally going to get a school or peppered cories but i saw some sterbais at my LFS. Really nice fish but expensive here. 1 for 12$ or 2 for 25$. Would cost me 50$ for a school of 6. Should i still go with them?
 
for that price i would never buy them,even at my overpriced LFS they wouldnt chrge that much
 
I would get the peppered cories. The sterbai cories will get larger but I wouldn't pay that much for cories when you could get the cheaper peppered cories(which are currently my favorite fish). They do the same thing and look fairly similar;)
 
Thanks! I might call my other lfs and see if the price is cheaper. If not i'll just go with peppered cories.
 
Yeah, that is a pretty crazy price for corys. The peppered really are great fun anyways. They go back and forth between serious ADHD times and then just sitting lazily. Also, I love how corys seem to roll their eyes at you sometimes.
 
My lfs had sterbai for around 10 or so, so I know what you mean. It's all about supply and demand, they had adolfoi for 12 each. If I ever get either it will be through someone online.

I would order online too but nobody seems to ship to Canada.

Ah, mine seem to have ADHD too! I love them! When I feed them they race all over the place and as my sister says "play tag" or "play leap frog" with each other! They're so cute and fun!
