Alan Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I have already told you my version, so I wont repeat it. See Derek Heath of the Lower Hutt club, he has bred sterbs. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 The best way for sexing any type of cory is to go by body shape, this is easiest when looking down from above - females should be noticably broader in the region behind the pectoral fins. Using dorsal fin height as way of sexing corys only applies to a few species - most commony the peppered cory. As for breeding corys Clothahump has made a pretty good post recently here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 I have some sterbai corys and I would like to try breeding them. I have bred these cats a couple of times, absolutely the hardest fish I have ever tried Have tried all the tricks in the book. For me they spawned when I had given up in frustration, as for raising them, thats even worse!!!! I have found that if you dont give them heaps of infusoria they will die off very quickly Good Luck (You will need it) But dont let what I have written here stop you, they are a beautiful little fish and well worth the effort /Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
