Corydoras: Julii

Juli's Cory Catfish, also known as the Leopard Cory Catfish, is a popular but often misidentified species. Tank-bred specimens are rare in the aquarium hobby, but are in high demand due to their spotted markings and peaceful nature.

Size and Lifespan

Growing to an average length up to around 2 inches in the aquarium. With the proper care, their lifespan can be between 5-7 years!

Tank Size and Requirements

We recommend a tank that is 10 gallons for a small school of at least 3, but preferably 6 of these cuties! As a peaceful species, corys generally do well with most tankmates.

Diet

Julii corydoras accept a wide range of prepared wafer, flake, and pellet foods designed with bottom-feeders in mind. They also eat frozen or freeze-dried meaty foods, including invertebrates and insects.
