I was at petland and saw these in an assorted corydoras tank. I was wondering what these were...

I have two in my tank. They run around together pretty good. I dont know what they are called either.

Ive had a few rainbow sharks. And they never messed with the corys. One fought with my syndontis e. catfish(featherfin). Had to seperate them...it always looked like a side ways pushing match.
I dont think ive ever had problems with corys and anything that wasnt a carnavore. My bro n law has them with needle nose gar and they havent tried any of his either.
Those corys seem to be a smaller cory than ive had in the past. Maybe its just mine but i like it. I would recomend them. You will enjoy them over the green corys and such.

Cool! Thanks a bunch! I will defiantly be getting some for my tank then!

What size tank do you have? Corydoras seem to really come out to play when kept in slightly larger groups, say 5 or 6. If you can, you may want to look at adding a few more julii's - it looks like you have a pretty good looking aquarium base for them to all play in :)

And AquaKai - hope you like them when you get them in your tank!

I have a 55 gallon tank that is yet to have anything occur with it:). So it will be a while but I hope to have everything sorta planed out and these are on the top of my list right after rainbow shark! They're so cute!
 
Cool. I've just finished stocking a 55g, and the julli's were top of my shopping list :) You have any other ideas on fish yet?
 
Yes those are actually three lined cories, or false julii. They are what most of us who have julii's have. True julii's are hard to find. I've only seen them for sale once. IMO the three lined are more attractive.

I keep 6 of these cories with a full grown rainbow shark with zero problems.

Well obviously the false juliis, and a rainbow shark, I would love like 12 tiger barbs, and 10 harlequin danios! I think that makes my tank full:)

That's good to hear, and thanks for the "false" catch! I like the pattern on them as well!

I have a 75gal...check my threads for some pics. I have a ton of maylasian trumpet snails...thats been the only thing keepin me from adding more. They keep the gravel pretty well clean. But if I see these 'julli's i will definitly buy more. Im some two plus hours from my ma+pa LFS (Eds Pet World, Mitchell S.D.)and they dont carry much. But they do find nice fish.
