Suitable Tankmate For Julii Cory

[qoftheq]

I recently set up a tank and bought one Julii Cory (or it was labelled as such anyway) without researching enough beforehand (whoops) to know that they need company. I would prefer to be able to tell my fish apart, so I was wondering if an albino cory would be a suitable buddy for this guy or if he needs a friend of his exact species to be happy. Thanks!

he needs to be in a group of about 6 cory's to be really happy. They will mix with other cory's but I find it's best to get other ones of the same or at least similarly marked ones and they'l play together much more readily. There's a few different spotty cory's around though, should be similar enough for him to bond with them but different enough fro you to tell them apart.

as above, you'll need more corries they love big groups

He's more than likely a trilineatus by the way Wonderful corys and my alltime fave, they play conga lines all day long in my tank
