What to know before you buy.
The Julii Cory has an intricate pattern of fine black spots and a distinct horizontal black stripe. They are often confused with the more common Trilineatus Cory, but true Julii have spots that are not connected into a reticulated pattern. They are a peaceful and active addition to a soft-substrate aquarium.
