Current classification places sterbai in Hoplisoma. Pale head spots distinguish ordinary reference fish from Brochis haraldschultzi, whose head has dark markings on a lighter background. This tank-bred listing keeps its 2.5-2.7 cm and 6 cm grades as separate offers; neither selects sex or a particular breeder population.
Species reference guidance gives 24-28 C and pH 6.0-7.6. Keep at least six with peaceful companions in mature filtered housing, clean sand and sheltered resting areas. Supply varied sinking pellets or tablets and small live or frozen foods. Maintain clean water and confirm the breeder holding regimen before transfer.
MBI-CAT-017 (2.5 cm - 2.7 cm): 50 fish per bag; maximum 8 bags per box; MBI-CAT-018 (6 cm): 1 fish per bag; maximum 80 bags per box.
Order minimum: MBI-CAT-017: 50 individual fish; MBI-CAT-018: 50 individual fish. Price is per individual fish. Existing quotation and business terms govern shipment arrangements.
