	Julli or Trillineatus?
Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	Yeah, I've convinced my LFS to put the true name on the little sign-y thingy. They said the people wouldn't know what tris are, so the sign reads "Trilineatus cories, a.k.a. Julii, as per Janna" They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

Went home thinking they were Jullis and ofcourse when they were identified (from the great folks at FP) it was obvious they were in fact False Jullis. Even after going back to the store and nicely explained that they were mislabeled, still nothing was done. This is the same LFS that sold me a "Bristlenose Pleco" that was later identified as a Clown pleco which wasn't doing anything for my algae problems. Stupid LFS]:\|

labrakitty Fish Addict Posts: 740 Kudos: 435 Votes: 9 Registered: 12-Nov-2004	They are true Julii, becuase my lfs has this corydoras book that has like every type and they looked it up in it and it looked identical to the julii and not to the trillineatus.

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Labrakitty, the "julii" cories you've been seeing are probably just trilineatus. Like I said, the mislabeling of these very common, you're just seeing false juliis. I sincerely doubt that julii cories are common in Australia.

labrakitty Fish Addict Posts: 740 Kudos: 435 Votes: 9 Registered: 12-Nov-2004	My lfs has Juliis and they are always some there. They seem not very rare in australia. Yesterday I went htere was 3 julii and one that was actually something else and had come as a julii but it wasn't one. (it wsan't a what you have though, a flase julii, something completely different.

SamanthaStorm Enthusiast Posts: 190 Kudos: 190 Votes: 51 Registered: 11-Nov-2004	Ok guys I'm confused. I have three corys that are either Julli's or Trillineatus, I have thought for the longest time that they were the tri's beacuse I heard that Julli's are really rare. But this is exactly what mine look like, so does this mean I have Julli's? http://www.neptuneaquatics.com/images/Corydora%20Julii.jpg This picture is on the neptuneaquatics site , labeled Jullis Thanks Sam

RustyBlade Mega Fish Posts: 987 Kudos: 1667 Votes: 391 Registered: 23-Apr-2003	so I doubt that the problem is limited to the United States. Very true. Where I live all the LFS label their tris as juliis, in fact I've never seen the label "trilineatus" And I've only ever seen 1 place that actually had (what I thought to be) the real julii.

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Julii cories are rare in the U.S., and are hard to come across in other countries as well. Tom, I bet that the cories you're seeing are just mislabeled C. trilineatus. Many trilineatus cories here in the States are labeled as julii, so I doubt that the problem is limited to the United States.

tomsouthall Enthusiast Posts: 286 Kudos: 470 Votes: 13 Registered: 18-Jan-2004	So julii's are rare in the US? There are always juliis in local LFS where i live in the UK and i hadn't even heard of trilineatus until recently so why are juliis not really imported in th US? there relatively cheap over here as well.

Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	The two species are really very similar. In some areas in the wild, their ranges meet, and you get cross-breeds. The distinction between true jullis and trilineatus is so blurred. It is almost always better to just assume that you have trilineatus, since jullis are VERY rarely, if ever, imported. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

Fish On The Brains Hobbyist Posts: 141 Kudos: 126 Votes: 65 Registered: 04-Jan-2005	Yup! I'm going with Ferretfish. They are Trilineatus... I was wondering if they were Julii's like yourself when I first got mine about 3 weeks ago. They are doing very well, seem hardy, very sociable with my other Corydoras paleatus, and are great looking Even though they're not true Julii's, their still a great Corydoras to own IMO. bala shark

terranova Fish Master Posts: 1984 Kudos: 1889 Votes: 229 Registered: 09-Jul-2003	Those are C. Trillineatus IMO You can tell b/c they have that connected line. True julli cories will not have a single spot connected. HTH...
