Hi everyone, Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting Ben and seeing his amazing collection of fish!!! He has some wonderful catfish most of which I had never seen before!
I also bought home a beautiful colony of Corydora Sterbai, bred by Ben himself... they are truly gorgeous and settling in very happily in my guppy tank...I have twelve of them... Thank you Ben!!!

Here are some pics of them that I took today... hopefully I will be able to get some better ones soon, but as you can see they are very very cute!!

Ben,

What's their growth rate like?
I've found matea is a pain to grow out. Takes forever and they're still small. In past experience, aenus is probably one of the fastest grower.
