Anybody here keep Sterba's?

[Abemas]

Any members here keep Sterba's Cory Cat? They seem to be the only cory that doesn't mind higher pH and they look pretty slick. I'm curious as to their temperament and if they are similar to Panda Corys at all.

Thanks!

I have a couple; they coexist with my paleatus cories well enough, but in general are more reclusive (possibly because there's only two of them vs 8-9 peppers in the same tank). As for pH I keep cories in a range of pHs and they don't seem to differ from tank to tank. if you like cories, no reason not get a few Sterbais.

I've kept/bred them in the past. They prefer higher temps than most cories so they're a great addition to discus and ram tanks. Very peaceful, but significantly larger in bulk and overall size than pandas.
