Julii Cory – The Classic Leopard Cory
The julii cory, or leopard cory, is a classic leopard spot cory and one of the very first fish available to the aquatic trade. Julii cory have a lot of personality and are extremely hardy. The body is light silver with black spots like the South American leopard but with the disposition of a kitten. (Just a quick note on julii and false julii cory: the breeders and collectors do not distinguish between the two, and the differences are minor, so AquariumFish.com does not distinguish either.) If you really, really need to know, ask customer service, and we will take a look at this week’s cory julii.

Nicholas White –
My julii cory has been in the tank for three months and is very active. It swims around a lot and seems to enjoy the environment. The black spots stand out well against the silver body. Very easy to keep and doesn’t stress other fish.
Anna Avery –
I bought this fish for my beginner tank. It’s calm and doesn’t chase other fish. The coloration is clear and the fish seems healthy. I’m happy with the purchase.
Trevor Hudson –
The julii cory is lively and curious. It explores the tank and interacts with the decor. I didn’t expect such a personality from a cory species. Very satisfied with the fish.
