| I'd guess that fish to be a regular albino bronzy, until you see the orange leading ray on the pectorals. Interesting fish .  J |

| The normal Sterbai's are stunning. Before my current tank setup I had a group of 6 Sterbai along with 6 Jullii - lost them all after South West Water whacked a super load of chemicals into the water without telling anyone. PH went haywire - everything died. Now I phone and check before water changes and I should probably invest in an RO unit.
Cories are one of my favourite fishes. They go nuts for daphnia - well worth keeping a culture of the sinking variety. Dead easy all you need is a sunny spot, an old 2 litre water bottle and a starting culture. I always kept mind with a sandy bottom - they don't seem too keen on the bigger gravels and watching them nose around in the sand is a real joy. |
