Dixon1990 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I just bought a cory online, but im not 100% sure what species it is. On the sale someone said its C. trilineatus. Does this sound right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 schwartzi is my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatopia Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Nah I reckon the first suggestion is right - definitely a trilineatus. Check out this link to an aquahobby picture - same thing :-) Schwartzis have a more solid dark head with less of a reticulated look (as shown below) ..

Dixon1990 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Cool, What do they usually go for in shops? Id like to buy a couple more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatopia Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 They are often mis-labelled as Julii, but I have seen them around the $15 mark. IMO if Sterbai are priced at $18-20 then $10 is more appropriate for these, but they are lovely. In fact, they were the first ever fish I had - a troop of 7 of them.

phoenix44 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 roughly 15 bucks onwards I think. (PS- if you do get it from a shop it will most likely be called a schwartzi/julii :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
