C. Julii

Hi i have 6 Julii in my 126ltr tank. They dont seem to swim together, rather they just do their own thing. Is that right??

I have got 4 Julii at the moment more soon hopefully. 3 of them stick together but the other seems to do his own thing. Once feeding time comes they are all together and I just sit there laughing my head off because they just remind me of little dogs wagging their tails lol. I love em.

Most likely both of you have Corydoras trilineatus and not true Corydoras julii as they are very rare in the hobby and trilineatus are most commonly mislabeled as julii

Corys school when they are afraid of their environment and tankmates. It is most likely that they are just comfortable now with their surroundings, meaning they are no longer afraid, so they don't need to school.

I was kinda hoping that was the reason!!!
Thanks

yup, that will be why, IME cories tend to stick closer together in smaller groups, and not much at all in larger groups, you have quite a large group there so now that theyve settled in they should be like this
