Hard-to-find cories -- sterbai and trilineated

[hollyfish2000]

Anyone breeding either of these? I've got groups of three for each of these in my SA tank, but really want to boost the numbers up a little bit. But I can't seem to find them anywhere . .. . Help?

I got my Sterbai from Amazon Basement on here.

I saw some trilineatus at Tropical Lagoon in Silver Spring on Saturday (labeled as julii).

thanks! tropical lagoon isn't too far from my work. How does one reach Frank Cowherd?

He's on this forum, but typically responds more quickly to email. I don't know if he wants me to share his email address publicly, so I'll PM you.

The House of Tropicals usally have the triliniatus frequently.

If Frank doesn't have any available, I have some juveniles ready to move. How many do you need?

 

[Pat Kelly]

It's a wonderful world!!!

finnzz -- Frank does have some, but I'm not yet sure how to hook up. He's going to be in the area for meetings on Feb 6 and 13th, but I teach on Saturdays and that may not work for me. Where are you located?

(I only need two . . . )

Is this a Sterbai?

I have three in my tank and they are always hangin out together.

The six peppers in my other tank all go their own ways.

'Can't get the pic to open, Bill.

 

[hollyfish2000]

I can't either. Sterbais are have brown squiggly stripes and orange fins. My three definitely hang together . . . cute little things

 

[finzz]

Here's a pick of some C. sterbai juveniles. In a large tank, they'll school together and mix with other Corydoras as well. I've seen them do the same in the wild (not sterbai, but others)

)

Mine do not look like that and definitely no orange fins.

Looks like mine may be a Julli or false Julii (Corydoras trilineatus)

What do you think? LFS said they were Sterbai, but then again they had my Cory Agasizi labeled wrong too.

Thanks...Bill

 

[MonteSS]

Here is the one I think is an Agasizi???

Thanks...Bill

I'd say trilineatus

Look exactly like mine, which I believe are trilineatus. Best site for identifying corys is www.planetcatfish.com.
