Got a photo of my favourite cory that I thought I'd share:

The first three are from my old tank with gravel substrate. The last one is their current home with pool filter sand, which they seem to much prefer. I have been trying to get more of them, but all I could find were really small ones, and they didn't make it for some reason. These two were purchased fairly large. Both of them are in my avatar.

Not sure - both of them appear quite slim when viewed from the top.

I think the pool sand is very abrasive on their barbels. Check the last pic...they apear shorter and worn ??
C sterbai seem to be a long lived cory...I have 10 wild one that came in at 1". They are well over 4 years old now. Some of the females are 2"+.
