littleslicknick Fingerling Posts: 40 Registered: 19-Mar-2004	I just got 4 Julis this past weekend. It is 3 different types... I will have to remember to bring in the names... but I want to know, will they eat flake food? I know they like the veggie-tation, so I have clipped a hunk of dried seaweed to the glass, I just don't know what else to feed them. They seem really shy and are constantly chilling under rocks and such. Will they become more active? I plan to get 4 more soon. Same kinds I have now. Thanks for any help. -Nick

But mine always darted straight for their caves.... Personally I'd get a good number of one species, rather than mixing several juli species. Much easier as far as aggression goes and you won't get an odd pair and end up with hybrid fry. Which could easily happen Very nice fish though and congrats

Anyways enjoy. Water, taken in moderation, cannot hurt anybody. -- Mark Twain

Most of the time they'll stay very close to the rocks. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
