Sweet looking cories. I cant decide if I am going to get Julii's or the Sterbai's once my 120 gets setup.

Susan,

That is a gorgeous fish! Congratulations!
Are they wiled, or tank raised?

Thanks,
Aram

archer772:
Also take a look at C.punctatus, C.trilineatus and c.similis very nice fish.
I also discovered for my self c.adolfoi the pattern is a little different, but very nice tricolor fish.

They are F1's, first spawn of wilds that a friend of mine has. What I didn't know about sterbai is that they can release a toxin if stressed. So they are kept in a low light situation.

I did not know that either! Are they the only corydoras that do this? I love those though, their pattern is beautiful. The Julii's are cute too...I believe my LFS carries those. After I purchase all of my Harlequins I'll be getting my cories!

With Julies you have to be careful as they are often confused with the 3 line cories. They look basically the same, but if you look closely there is a little difference in the spots.

I'm not sure if the sterbai is the only ones that releases toxin. Got to do a lot more reading on them.
