Re: black cories?

I had jullis before and they are extremely shy creatures - but i also found they arent as hardy as the other variants

by **flip** on Sun Apr 18, 2010 5:33 pm

so far other than being very shy it looks to be in good health. hope it stays that way!! it is so pretty, i cant wait to get a couple more of them! are ethe false jullis just as shy as the jullis?

by **Haych** on Sun Apr 18, 2010 7:01 pm

by **flip** on Sun Apr 18, 2010 7:22 pm

TG- i didnt do it! lol!

these are my first ever cories and i already want more!!

haych- apparentally if the dots on the head are individual and not connected together kinda like a maze then they are the real julli's the ones with the maze dots are the false ones. Very Happy

I dunno lol - I dont have mine anymore as I had a bad incident with pepper cories so sold them all

by **flip** on Sun Apr 18, 2010 9:40 pm

oh that stinks! well at least you know if you ever get anymore LOL

by **kizno1** on Mon Apr 19, 2010 5:06 pm

one of them is defently a julli. but the others ddont look like blacks. im not to sure what they are though. lilcamy should be able to tell you more.

by **flip** on Mon Apr 19, 2010 5:25 pm

no they arent, they were labled as emerald and now im thinking they must have been so dark due to being on the black gravel or they were different than the ones they had last week. but i really like them anyways! are you sure that is a real julli? i can get you a better pic if you need.

by **kizno1** on Mon Apr 19, 2010 5:38 pm

yh it looks like it could be emrald but there are so many types its hard to tell but if thats what the shop labeled it as i would go with that.
it could be a real julli or false julli im not to good at telling though so cant really help

which one does it look more like?

yeah it is the false julli. the line on ots sode goes the length of the body and the 'spots' are connected. thats ok though i was almost 100% it was a false on when i got it, it is still the prettiest one i got! if the emerald ones get to be 3 to 3 1/2 inches then i think it will be pretty certain they are the emerald. they are very active and not shy at all!! same with the albinos.

by **kizno1** on Mon Apr 19, 2010 6:44 pm

i would try and get a few more of the jullis evan if there is other corys its still best to keept 3 or 4 of each type.

by **flip** on Mon Apr 19, 2010 6:56 pm

yeah that is the plan. im thinking one more albino to put that to three and two more jullis. im going to wait a few weeks though.

by **kizno1** on Mon Apr 19, 2010 7:00 pm

is it just them in the tank?

by **flip** on Mon Apr 19, 2010 7:09 pm

by **flip** on Wed Apr 28, 2010 3:44 am

thank you lilicamy! im keeping my eye out for the schultzei now that i have the cories i want more! the pics of your blacks show how pretty they are!! the emeralds are the bronchi splendens, they have really colored up beautifully now that they are settled. i will try to get some pics. they are a dark green and depending on how the light hits them a stunning blue! they really are a beautiful fish!
