Bought As Corydora Julii But Are They~?

[babybell911]

Ok I bought these three at £4.20 each quite expensive but they were so gorgeous I couldn't help it!!! They were labelled as corydora julii but I think they might be the trilenatus (sp?) ones. Anyone positive ID them for me and then tell me if I was seriously ripped off at £4.20 each?!!

Gorgeous cories you have there. They do look like Corydoras trilineatus. The Jullis do look similar, but they have spots on their faces and yours have the pattern, so can see why they were confused. I don't have any myself, but they do look just like them. Not sure how much they go for either, as I've never seen them at the LFS. I have seen the Jullis and I think they were £4-99 each.

definatly trillineatus and not julii sory but they are often mislabled as julii. c.julii have spots as opposed to lines here is a link to corydoras trilineatus http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/speci...?species_id=508 if you look at the pictures there you will see that is what you have £4.20 is a bit on the steep side in my opinion

I paid a little bit more for mine (£5.99), but that was our LFS and they've done that a lot to us *lmao*.

Yeah I used to go to a lfs then found another one and realised just how much the original one had been ripping me off!!!!

They look like C. trillineatus to me too.

Here is a picture of mine to compare:
