However, the vast majority of "julii" cories are actually trilineatus. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

The leopard cory is a different species (more rare than the three-lined), C. leopardus. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

That's what I thought it was, but hey, another opinion or 5 never hurts! Last edited by puffer_archer at 29-Nov-2004 13:22

I know PetsMart calls them julii, so maybe you should check that out if you want more. The obvious way to distinguish them is that instead of the vertical lines that trilineatus has, julii has spots.
