ReeseADHD Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Heyo, I ordered these Julii Corydoras but the website doesn't say if they're true or false Juliis. I personally can not tell from these pictures, can anyone identify them? Edited April 25, 2022 by Lucid_Reese Thumbnail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettsPapa Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I recognized the photo, so I went to the website. The description says Corydoras julii, but I've seen many reports that say that those are rarely, if ever, available in the aquarium trade. I don't claim to be an expert, but I would be very surprised if they aren't really Corydoras trilineatus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Those look like true julii since they have spotty faces. Trilineatus have “reticulated” faces, meaning squiggly lines. Short name has dots, long name has lines is how I remember it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either case, it's a beautiful fish and the patterns are amazing. The false julii's I had looked exactly like that when we first got them and later developed the traditional pattern. I can't really clearly answer, but this photo gives you an idea (and obviously we don't have a before or after to compare this to) of the pattern starting to form. The easiest way to know for certain is likely going to be the belly/body region. Edit: here's some that look similar to those via aquahuna Edited April 25, 2022 by nabokovfan87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These fish are super cute & I'm excited to add them to my aquarium. Thank you for linking resources 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
