Dr. Günther Sterba discovered this species of catfish in South America in 1962, and it was named after him. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eCorydoras is derived from the Greek words Kory, which means helmet, and doras, which means skin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThese well-known fish are distinguished by the two rows of armour plating that run along Cory's flanks. Corydoras Sterbai also has fewer than 10 dorsal fin rays. The head and body of the fish are dark brown, with horizontal rows of white dots. The tail and fins are black with opaque dots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThe Corydoras Sterbai, like all catfish species, has a pair of barbels on its snout that it uses to root through the substrate in search of food.
