Cory ID?

[Niki86]

I have two of these guys but would like to know why kind they are:



Sorry this guy is a little washed out looking bc he was just introduced to the tank.

False Juilii

I have looked up the false Juili Cory and my guy doesn't have the black spot on his dorsal, and he has a really green/blue gill plate.

Everything else seems to look the same though

There are a ton of lookalike Cories. Check this site. Perhaps post pics there as well ?

And I truly HATE the common name False julii. There are multiple species sold under the name C julii that are Not.
The most common in my area are Corydoras trilineatus aka 3 Lined Cory a translation of their Latin name. They aren't false, just truly cute

Hope this helps.
