Order them from your LFS?

LFSs will often NOT bring them in because they are so expensive, even when they are available, kind of like zebra Otocinclus.

I collected a very nice large group of sterbais that I've been growing out since last year for breeding. I had my first spawn on Friday while they were still in my 75G planted pleco tank. I've moved most them out into their own tank now and I managed to collect about 2 dozen eggs but only 5 are fertile and should hatch tomorrow. It's a start, I hope to have some for sale later this summer.:)

I saw some on ebay and I made a few bids but of course I was outbid at the very last second...I think it's rigged, because later on the same seller posted for 4 sterbai cory's and the same ads are on aquabid. SO it's prolly better I didn't deal with the seller.

This could be a consideration but shipping from Conn. to Texas is quite far. :(

I bought a school of 18 juveniles from "theamazonbasement". Have had them for approx 4 weeks. Eating everything that hits the bottom and growing. Great customer service.

aw I wished I knew this earlier, they are cheaper! I've had 3 die already and I think they forgot to add another...not really happy about my purchase at all. I was reluctant to mail order fish but my LFS didn't have cories, I even resorted to petsmart and petco. The one's frm DR. Fosters are prob stressed out since they just arrived there...then had to be shipped again. I might go with the amazonbasement....once I build my fund again lol.

They still had the yolk sac attached. I had them on BBS for like 3 weeks. I haven't lost a single fry........JK:D. They were about a ...1/4 in or so I think. Not tiny. I had a disaster with USPS - couldn't open the gate into my neighbourhood (on fri) left a note in my mail box on SAT to pick up the fish (PO closes at 2 pm on sat) I picked up the fish MON AM - they had been in the box for like .. i think i calculated >80 hours or so. There were like 6-7 DOA, luckily the shipper had packed in 8-9 extras (i cant remember). Ironically, the total number I've got now is 18! Anyway, give them a try when you can. Person I dealt with was Bev. - Prashanth
