Price range: AED 12.50 through AED 15.00 + VAT
The julii cory is a nocturnal bottom dweller that will clean your tank with the sensitive barbels it uses to find food. It has the unique ability to rotate its eyes, so it appears to wink. Corydoras julii (also known as the julii cory or leopard catfish) is a small freshwater catfish native to eastern Brazil. It is often confused with Corydoras trilineatus, the three-striped corydoras. Corydoras julii are small, peaceful shoaling fish, and are typically kept in groups in captivity.
Description
Sterba’s corydoras (Corydoras sterbai) is a member of the South American Corydoras genus of freshwater aquarium catfish and one of the most popular species of Corydoras due to its attractive markings. Sterba’s cory is distinguishable from other Corydoras species as it has white spots on a black background on its head. Ideally Corydoras sterbai should be housed with a fine substrate such as sand or gravel in order to avoid doing damage to their delicate barbels.
