Julii CoryLeopard Catfish ~ Armored Catfish Family: Callichthyidae
Latest Reader Comment - See More Julli Corys are great! I used to have one but since they get along with my 4 Zebra Danios and 4 Neon Tetras, I'm going to get another one in a couple of Brandon T 2009-05-25 The Julii Cory is probably the most popular and often sold Cory. It is active and very pretty! It has bold central horizontal stripes, a spotted body, and six spotted bands on it's tail!The Jullii Cory or Leopard Catfish does not grow very large, growing up to only 2.0 inches (5 cm). which makes it very suitable for a small aquarium. Like all the Corys, they are quite hardy, very peaceful, and they help keep the bottom of the aquarium clean by eating up leftover foods! For more Information on keeping this fish see:

| I have a school / shoal of 10 jullis in my 5" tank, they have been in for 2 months now and are exceptional tank mates for the rest of the fish , even inducing some of their more stoic tankmates to imitate their erratic behavior at times. I would recommend the species as an excellent addition to any starter tank, but please let the tank become established first as they seem to thrive on the detritus and residue. Another note, as was posted earlier, ensure the substrate does not contain sharp / angular gravel as this not only could damage their undersides, it will also, eventually wear away their barbels.

| I got 2 more Julii cory cats. The pet shop in my town finally got them in. I'm glad the owner was able to get them. She saved me 2 of them, so now I have 4 Julii's. They school around together. Sometimes when one swims, then they all follow. They're always doing something. I love to watch them swim. I love my Jilii's.

| Some of the coolest comments: |
| Just as a word to the wise, a lot of corydoras sold as juliis are actually trilineatus. You have to look at the two, very closely to figure out which is which. The trilineatus has a reticulated head pattern (little squiggly lines) whereas the true julii has a head pattern made up of little individual dots.
ps: the photo for this section appears more like trilineatus than julii. A clearer photo would help people identify the correct corydoras species. Editor's Note: Anyone with a clearer picture, please enter it into the gallery and we can replace this one. 2009-03-03 |
| It is always necessary to have bottom feeders for community tanks, as they work to help you rid your tank of any leftovers. They are highly recommended due to their beautiful appearance, their gentle behaviour, and adorable looks. Avoid adding to tanks with quiet & still fishes, as their active nature will probably be offensive. 2003-09-06 |
