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 flash
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
