Albino Sterbai Corydoras – Elegant, Peaceful, and Efficient Bottom-Dweller

Enhance your aquarium with the stunning Albino Sterbai Corydoras (Corydoras sterbai), a beautiful and hardy species known for its striking appearance and beneficial role in maintaining a clean tank environment. With its creamy white body adorned with dark, contrasting spots and bright, vibrant eyes, the Albino Sterbai Corydoras adds both elegance and personality to any freshwater aquarium.

This peaceful and social catfish species is a bottom-dweller, constantly foraging for leftover food and detritus, making it an excellent choice for maintaining a clean and balanced tank. Its calm nature allows it to coexist easily with other peaceful species, making it a perfect addition to community tanks. Plus, the Albino Sterbai Corydoras is hardy, adaptable, and easy to care for, making it an ideal choice for aquarists of all experience levels.

Key Features:

  • Striking Appearance: Light, almost pearly white body with bold black spots, making it a standout addition to your tank

  • Peaceful & Social: Ideal for community tanks, as it thrives in schools and coexists with other non-aggressive species

  • Efficient Scavenger: Helps keep your aquarium clean by consuming leftover food, detritus, and organic matter from the substrate

  • Hardy & Low Maintenance: Adaptable to a variety of water conditions, making it an easy-care species for both beginners and seasoned hobbyists

Care Guidelines:

  • Tank Size: Minimum 20 gallons for a group of 5 or more

  • Water Temperature: 74–80°F (23–27°C)

  • pH Range: 6.5–7.5

  • Diet: Omnivorous – enjoys sinking pellets, live or frozen foods (bloodworms, brine shrimp), and occasional blanched vegetables

  • Lifespan: 5–8 years with proper care

Tip: Provide a soft, sandy substrate to protect their delicate barbels. Add plenty of plants, driftwood, and hiding spots to mimic their natural environment and keep them feeling secure.

The Albino Sterbai Corydoras is a stunning and functional addition to any freshwater aquarium. Whether you're looking for a visually striking species or a reliable bottom-feeder to help maintain a clean tank, this peaceful and beautiful catfish is sure to be a favorite in your setup.
