Re: 60G (228 litres) Cory Tank
Cories are some of my favorite fish and nice tank!
You even have my favorite cory in here, the sterbai. I'm envious because I haven't gotten the chance to keep that species yet. (I've had pygmy and panda cories before.)
Are sterbai easy to breed? any problems with the toxic chemicals they can secrete?

Re: 60G (228 litres) Cory Tank
Lots of moss is the key, I hate to say it but 95% of the sterbai in the tank came from when I ignored them. I had shut down my 75G as I was going to either sell it or come up with a different scheme for it. There was a huge mix of Cory's in it ( albino, bronze/green aenus, paleatus, sterbai, reticulated). So I emptied it out of fish, plants, disconnected the canister filter and just left the sponge filters (80G each) running. I left it for a week with the lights out with water so I could show no leaks to sell it. Decided after some ridiculous low ball offers, that I'd keep it and do a micro tank macro sized. I flipped on the light and saw around 40 sterbai fry (few aenus as well) zooming around. The temp was fairly constant between 76-78F, best advice well established tank (tank had been running a year), clean water and vary the diet and should get babies easily. Oh another trick I like is to do a WC just before/during a rainstorm, something with the barometric pressure seems to get them going.
