cory id please

[jacblades]

i just bought these 2 guys and was wondering if anyone could give me a positive id on them.
thanks.
sorry for the big pics. thought they would show detail better. pics are blurry because i took them while the fish were still in the bag.

really? thats what i thought when i first saw them (since that seems to be the species i see in most pet stores), but they look nothing like the julii we have at work. the ones at work have less spots and no stripes, but then again, i guess those could be mislabeled.

just going on the dorsal fin black spot and the tail markings,
they look to me to be C.trilineatus; but then again I'm no expert.

speaking of experts why not PM Inchworm, I'm sure she will be in no
doubt what they are.

Hi jacblades

I'm pretty sure that it's a C. trilineatus or 3 lined cory and not a C. julli. The jullis have dots on their heads where the trilineatus has reticulations.

Here's my favorite link that will show you the difference:

At which fish store did you buy those cories?

good link inchworm! its much easier to see the difference when the pictures are next to each other like that.

Hey Jac , did they have any habrosus in when you were there? I have been by there several times, and keep getting told "we will get some soon...*sigh*" Those guys get tired of me LOL
