{"product_id":"sterbai-cory","title":"Sterbai Cory","description":"\u003cp\u003eSterbai corys are best kept in groups of six or more. Adding a larger group of corys to your tank will reduce shyness and promote natural behaviours. Corys generally thrive best and demonstrate natural behaviour when kept as a single type of cory, as supposed to lots of different types, however it is possible to house different types of corys in one aquarium. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSterbai corys have the ability to breathe intestinally so it is common that they will travel to the surface of the water. It’s best to leave a gap at the top of the tank to give space for them to come to the surface, it’s also best to house them in a shallower tank so that their journey to the surface is shorter. They can live in deeper tanks but benefit from creating mid-way points in the tank for corys to rest in on their journey to the surface of the water – this could be provided by hardscape materials or plants such as Amazon sword. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSterbai corys also benefit from being on a tank with a large bottom as the enjoy rooting around and foraging in the substrate. Corys are best kept in a tank with a sandy bottom, this mimics their natural environment. Avoid course gravel substrate in tanks with your corys- the jagged edges can damage their sensitive barbels as they sift the substrate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiet: At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Sterbai corys \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ebo-foods-pro-soft-mussel-125g\"\u003eEBO Pro Soft Mussel\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ebo-foods-pro-soft-insect-meal-125g\"\u003eInsect Meal\u003c\/a\u003e. Our corys also enjoy a range of live foods including bloodworm and tubifex. Blackworm is known as a trigger for facilitating corys to spawn because it is very good for their overall health, body condition and egg production. Tank mates: Tetras, rasboaras, angel fish, discus and dwarf cichlids. Avoid aggressive fish and fish that are likely to outcompete them for food.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wirral Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Small \/ single","offer_id":53032209875272,"sku":null,"price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Small \/ x3","offer_id":53032209908040,"sku":null,"price":27.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large \/ single","offer_id":53032209940808,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large \/ x3","offer_id":53032209973576,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Extra Large \/ single","offer_id":53580943556936,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Extra Large \/ x3","offer_id":53580943589704,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/1364\/7944\/files\/aeea7ef7-312c-46e4-b932-f8762babf97e-cb42858c.webp?v=1794359297","url":"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/sterbai-cory","provider":"Wirral Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
