What is this cory cat?

[Angry the Clown]

Hello Everyone,

Quick question: what type of cory cat is on the TFH Publications Catfishes eBook, link HERE?

I ask because I have one, and only one, who has happily (if lonely) lived in my tank for the past 5 years. I would love to get a small group to keep mine company.

Thanks,
AtC

It's not a sterbai. My sterbais are dotted with yellow fins.

Yes, I agree with Gillie. But look closely at yours and make sure it isn't actually a true Jullii. They can be very hard to tell apart.

They're actually not hard to tell apart trilineatus have wormy markings and julii have fine spots.

I suppose. I always mix them up

Thank you to everyone who has weighed in so far, and thank you for pointing me in right direction.

The next time I see the little guy in my tank, I'll snap a photo.

+1. I have 3 of them myself. True juliis are hard to find. So it is almost certainly a false julii.

Just following up finally with a picture. First time I've seen him in a week or so.

Not sure why it's upside down...
