You can see the three lines that run down its body which are not as obvious in julii. Also, reticulations on the head (rather than small spots) are usually more indicative of trilineatus; this is not a hard-fast rule as some trilineatus have spotted heads. Julii are actually very rare. It's similar to Debauwi Catfish being a trade name for Pareutropius buffei, a relative of Pareutropius debauwi. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Yes, they are C.trillineatus & they're very nice. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

Both are very nice species & at the moment, i have about 14 C.trillineatus that are still quite small & hope to breed them in the future. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

With them i also have 6 C.aeneus albino, 2 Otos, 9 Black Widow Tetras, 12 Rummynose Tetras, 1 Lemon Tetra & 1 C.reticulatus. Quite difficult to picture them, but you can see the tank setup in my pictures link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
