My Lfs has some 'Julii' in, and i must say they do look rather different to my 3 Line, i am going to pick some up later today let you guys decide what they are, if they are indeed Julii's i am tempted to buy the lot and breed them :good:

If not no big deal have been hunting for some 3 Lines anyway :lol:

My 3 Line

Mine were advertised in the LFS as Julii's but appear to be 3 lined from the reticulated pattern on the heads, as opposed to spots, plus the three lines :rolleyes:

yours look very different to mine too :lol:

time will tell i'm off to get them in a mo, pics to follow shortly :good:
 
ive got some that were advertised as jullis but i dont think they are. but they look different yours. i used to have some 3 line that looked compeltely diffeent to any others, there seems to be a lot of variety in the density and darkness of their markings i think.

here a pic of mine that were labelled as julii

i got 7 for £19.50 so either way i'm happy (got 2 extra due to taking some slightly battered bettas off there hands cheap too, which i'm always happy to do)
 
i would say they are definitely 3 line, the squiggles on their heads are very obviously squiggles not spots. very nice price though, less than 3 quid each is a bargain, even for 3 lines. its odd, your first few pictures the markings are faint and pale, though the bottom coule are more defined. comparing my picture to your first 2 pictures, you would almost say they're different species.

if mine turn out to be julii, im going to phone them see if i can swap my current sterbais and agassizi's for some more.

Thanks Frank, thought they would be :lol: will have to fish the other one out and add him to this group :good:
 
Can I weigh in with an ID request as well please... :)

Mine were sold as Julii, about £2.50 each.

The 2nd to about 5th pics down.

Julii?

Ta :)
 
So no-one who bought Julii's actually got them... :) Not that it really matters as they look so similar I guess, unless they were v.expensive...

I shall insist upon DNA testing in future though... :)
