I LOVE my breeding pair of Sterbais from Gregg!!!

I was lucky enough to buy Gregg's spawning pair of adult Sterbai cories when he was shutting down a few weeks ago. I also bought his two almost adult "babies" at the same time. That day he discovered some cory eggs in the tank and was nice enough to raise them for me (only one survived but it has grown like crazy). That survivor (Junior) is already about an inch in length. A couple of weeks ago, I thought I saw a cm long Sterbai swimming around. When I moved the plants around, I confirmed that I now have a baby sterbai about a cm in length swimming around with mom, dad, and three older siblings. This baby is a survivor since I literally did nothing special to keep it alive since I didn't even know it existed until it was already a cm long. Woohoo. Thanks again Gregg.

Nice find Anthony. I miss my group of Sterbai from my 150g discus.

Nice find. If you see one fry, I'm sure there's a few more hiding in the tank.

Yes, Sterbai seem to be very prolific spawners. My group spawns almost every other day in the cube, but alas, with all the plecos, discus, tetras etc. in the tank, no eggs every survive.

Well, Felicia noticed another new small baby (1 cm) in the planted tank so we looked closer for more. I lifted up the wood and some plants. Lo and behold, there are at least another three little Sterbai swimming around. That makes it four older offspring (one each from four different spawns) and now at least three little ones, as well as mom & dad. I'll try to get pics up tomorrow when we take a closer look.

Woohoo.

Darn it. Anthony, you're making me want to get some sterbais *cringes*.
Good luck sneaking up on the little fellows for pictures
The kids must love seeing the baby fish.
