ok, we picked up two of these corys for our 15 gallon yesterday but we are clueless to what type or corys. can anyone please help identify? srry the pictures are still a bit blurry i dont know whats wrong

Either C. cf burgessi, or julli IMO. The coloring in the pic makes it hard to tell.

They are Reticulated corys. I used to have a pair

Damon · 01-30-2005, 11:37 AM

Deffinitely not Reticulated cories.

they have a spotted tail, all distributed in even lines though. i think they might be the julii corydoras as well Simpte. Thanks everyone!

They are definetely NOT Burgessi or Xinguensis. I'd say either Trilineatus or Julii. The pics are too blurry to tell. The differnece between those two (although slight) is that the Trilineatus will have a line pattern (not straight lines) on the head and body...and the Julii will be spotted. Both species have the black on the dorsal fin. The Julii are fairly rare in the hobby (often misidentified)...so my guess would be Trilineatus

Oops,
Somehow, I missed your last post Fishfreaks. If you are saying spotted; then they are Julii. Try going here for a positive ID: http://www.planetcatfish.com
