Hi beechey

C. arcuatus are delightful corys but the prefer a bit cooler temperature than your sterbai need. 22-26°C (71-79°F) is usually recommended.

Here's some of mine with black C. schultzei:

Depends on the Place, IME if they say that, they never do. As in the Past with Cov+surrounding they say that but never do.

My sister has one of these and we haven't been able to find any others in the country. One guy has two of them which he is calling something else (which they are not) but he wants $60 each for them...

Hi beechey

Good for you! These are some very nice corys. I've had mine for several years with no problems at all. No eggs from them though. Watch out for Badmans's if you use that site for referrence. They got the size wrong too. These are not small corys although they may be slow growers.

Fall and winter is the time of year when different corys start turning up at the lfs so you might be able to find more of them soon.

Hi skippy_49nz

They might be either Corydoras cf. arcuatus aka CW036 aka Super Arcuatus. or C. narcissus, which is larger and has a long nose. Either one is a rare find and tend to be more expensive than many other corys.

C. narcissus:
