herefishiefishie reacted to zombieworm in Masked Julie QuestionThis little guy/.gal is a transcriptus. The first pair I ordered arrived at the supplier DOA. Of the second pair ordered, one was DOA, so this is the only one I was able to get. Am wanting more, obviously. I have a 380 ltr tank coming this week end, which I will be setting up to move the cichlids to - they are currently in a 165 ltr tank. I will put off moving Julius/Juliette when I move the others over, and see if I can get a few more first, then move him/her over when the new ones arrive. Thanks for the help Frenchy

herefishiefishie got a reaction from zombieworm in Masked Julie QuestionJulies are lovely & yes can be pains... but if you get a couple to pair up. Everything comes up roses.
Femals tend to be bigger. Hence usually you buy 5 or 6 as juvies, grow up & let nature take its course. The sure way, is to vent sex...

There is a pic in there, showing Julies. You can then at least know what you have & then try to find the other. How big is your tank? Caue you can try to find anther 3 or 4 of similar size & add to the tank.
Either way, before introducing. Break down the tank, take out resident julie. Re set up tank, place in new ones & then the resident one.
Here is a good read

What you have is either a marlieri or transcriptus... or a cross of both. Either way, the article is a good one to read.
