Opinions Wanted On Adding Sterbai Cories

[KISSfn]

I am thinking about adding 6 Sterbai Cories to my tank. What do you think?

for them to be really happy they need sand im afraid, they will survive in smooth, small rounded gravel, but as i said they need sand to be happy. They love zooming aand burying in the sand and gravel can ware away there barbels, you could have a nice group of at least 10 i recon, what size is your tank, 240l-260l
?

Not a great move long term, Sterbai are truely tropical catfish that need 24C minimum and everything else in your 120g stocking is sub-tropical.

Look to the likes of Peppered; Trilineatus; Adolphoi; or the more exotic Bearded Corydoras.

It's up to you KISSfn, if it was me I'd be a little concerned about the barbs being a bit aggressive for the shy cory and I also read somewhere about tetra's pecking at cories eyes (probably a one off though) but if you give the cories hiding places it could work out.
