RadMax8 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Hey fish friends, I bought some gorgeous Sterbai cories and they’re doing really well in my tank. Got a small fleet of six of them and they cruise around with my two panda cories and the matriarch, a bronze cory that’s been around for around 5 years. Anyway, I’ve been looking at photos of Sterbai cories and these look a little different. Any chance on an ID? I’m thinking false julii but I’m not 100%.

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Looks like Coryadoras trilineatus not sterbai - the give away is the lack of orange on the pectoral fins but also the three lines in the center of their body running horizontally. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi_Aquatics Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I agree with @Beardedbillygoat1975 that doesn’t look like a sterbai 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Naysmith Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I also agree I don't think that is a sterbai. I'm sure if you do some research on coryadoras you will find the proper Id Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Agreed with all, not sterbai, do look like trilineatus (AKA false julii). I just rescued one of each and had to do some reading to ID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadMax8 Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 Thanks for the input, everyone. When they were younger they looked more like Sterbai to my eye (and were labeled as such), now that they’re more mature the look is a bit more defined. Thanks for confirming my suspicions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
