Corydoras Julii - Red Spot/Cut

[bushbrother]

I don't seem to be having much luck with my new fish recently My female gourami recently wedged herself in my bogwood and was cut so bad she died, now at feeding time I spotted what looks like a red spot on the joint of one of the side fins of my cory.

It looks kind of raised like a spot, but could be a swollen cut. It doesnt seem to bother him/her at all and is busy scooting around and searching through the sand. Should I be worried? I tried to get some pictures but it is hard!

Should I leave it for a few days? Could it be an infection? FYI my tank has cycled and water stats are good (0ppm) and I am doing weekly 30% changes.

Ahh poor thing,looks has though it needs treating,you might be best posting in the emergency section and wilder & co will able to help you more

By the way your cory is a Trilineatus not a julli,still fab cories,i have loads of them

OK, I have posted it in emergencies too. I just looked on google images and those 2 species of cories look pretty similar to me My LFS had them listed as Julii, but I am no expert ... lol

My lfs did the same to me,i think its pretty common mistake

Julii have all dots/spots,none of them make a squiggly pattern,whereas the trilineatus have dots that join together making them a squiggly pattern, thats how i see them
I'm sure the cory experts would explain it better

They are very similar,but if you look at a proper julii you will see definate spots.
The trilineatus is also known has the false julii,leopard cory and three line cory

Apparently true julii's are very difficult to get hold of.
