Hi. C. julii are probably the single most misidentified Cory on the planet. If they are truly C. julii (yes, your lfs WILL swear they are), I'd get them in a flashbigstinka wrote:my local fish center has julii and metae corys for sale. i have a dedicated cory tank running ro water. which will be easiest to breed ? this is my first attempt. also any info on breeding these please! thank alot!
As far as C. metae, I was speaking with Ian Fuller, yesterday and he described their breedability to me as, "easy-peasy."
I have 5 adults that have spawned on ocassion, but not sucessfully. Also, be aware that C. matae and C. davidsandsi are often confused. The D = medium snout and the M = short snout. Hope this helps. - Frank
