Hi! I'm a newbie to this site! Been directed over from Aquaria central cause they're not sure what it is! I have a friend who works in the aquatic section of Dobbies and she phoned to say she had some Julii come out of quarenteen that day did i want any? So I went out a bought a pair of these beauties! Just wondering what they were!








Excuse the photo quality they move fast!!

Thanks for the help!!

To my untrained eye, they look like to me.

More than likely C. trilineatus, But they did look a touch like C. copei which is not a common find. Let them colour up a bit more once they are well fed and settled and we will get a better idea.

I did think of , but decided the markings weren't right. Probably a good idea - let them settle in for a few days, and then take a few more.

They may even be C. acrensis, but don't rule out C. trilineatus, which is a very variable species. Do you know where they were exported from?

Thanks for all the replies!

Unfortunately I don't know where they were imported from. I've asked my friend and she tells me that their distributor is a uk one (they use a mix of imports, local breeders and other wholesalers) They just get a random delivery (they don't know what fish are coming in until they do).

I'll let them settle a bit more and take some more pics at the end of the week!

Thanks!!
