6 Sterbai! They are a beautiful Cory!
 
Cool, I think I'll go for 6 sterbai. I think the only reason I wanted 6 habrosus was because they're so small (less than 2 inches). and would not be bear too much of a biological burden on my 20 gallon tank (stocked with 4 rummy (soon to be 6), 5 black neons, 2 ottos (soon to be 5-6), and a couple of shrimp).

So, when purchasing these sterbai... should I buy them 3 at a time, or all 6 at once?
My experience tells me 6 :) But I'm not very experienced ;)
 
Buy all six at once. Go for something a little less common, there are so many choices of cory. I love the hastatus (not the commonly mistaken pygmeus) the adolfoi are very good looking cories as well. Weitzmanni are really odd, as are elegans. The world of cories is enormous, try looking for something a little more off the beaten path.

You know, it's funny. My ideal school of cory was originally hastatus; however, none of my LFSs have them. The closest I got was habrosus. I don't want the added stress that shipping them would take. Or is it not that bad?

What do you recommend Wyld?
 
I'd have them shipped. I know of a great spot to get the hastatus. A member on MFK by the name of Apistomaster has a breeding colony. PM him, that is where I got my hastatus.
 
just get a bigger tank and get 6 of each :)
