cute i saw some real julies the other day, they were all trills except one, that has the unconected spots was tempted, but not for that price

Nice picture! Every time I see something like that, I feel ashamed of my camera.

Sorry to be a drag fishy, but there's almost a zero chance that you saw true julii cories. Trilineatus cory cats can still be spotted, since they have widely varying patterns.

this isn't really the proper forum for this, but why make the distinction of julii then if they aren't able to be found? why not just call them all trilineatus and forget the julii species altogether?

Well, they are definitely out there, and exist in the wild. The only thing is that C. trilineatus is the species which happens to be imported in large numbers and is bred in fish farms. Corydoras julii is a valid species, it's just insanely hard to get ahold of them in the aquarium trade.

Really I agree, to me it makes sense to just label all of these fish "Corydoras trilineatus" in stores. They are what the consumer is seeing 99% of the time, so it's simple to operate under the assumption that all aquarium fish being called "Corydoras julii" are really C. trilineatus. I don't know why collectors and exporters persist in mislabling this species.

I feel really ashamed of my photos. I just got the first decent pic. of my Platy too.

Lovely Corydoras.
