SamanthaStorm Enthusiast Posts: 190 Kudos: 190 Votes: 51 Registered: 11-Nov-2004	Hey guys, In the eaelier thread you all stated to fill out my cory schools (3 julis, 2 shwartz, and i unknown) how many more of each should i get, and what do i do about my poor little unknown? I also had a question about the gouramis, i was at my LFS looking at the dwarf fires, and i saw some of them would meet, circled around each for like 10-15 seconds, and then chase each other around, is this aggresion, mating, normal, or something else. How do you tell when a gourami is being aggresive? Thanks Guys Sam Last edited by sxp8397 at 02-Feb-2005 10:14

Most stores don't even carry female dwarf gouramis because of their dull colors.

If you can't find cories similar to your unknown at the store, just leave it by itself for now. It will probably hang out with the other cories, anyways. Just so that you know, those julii cories are probably really trilineatus. The thing is, true julii are very hard to find, and are rarely imported. Real juliis can be identified by the small, unconnected spots on their head and snout, while trilineatus cories have interconnected dots, almost like lines. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Dwarf Gouramis tend to chase each other alot Male Dwarf Gourami are colourful, but the females are silvery/grey only. http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
