The "leopard" is a trilineatus, not a leopardus. ;)
The weiztmani are nice. :)
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it! :D

Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!

Julii only come in on Brazilian import. When you see them up close they ar pretty different .

To be honest I am a bit worried about the C.trilineatus. Doesn't look bright and shining.

I believe it was Stephen who posten this picture some time ago about the differenceImage

I love my bronze and albino cory. They are so cute to watch. The 4 bronze are younger than the 2 albino and during every water change (or whenever they they feel like it) they pile onto the albino for comfort. They seem like really sweet gentle fish :)

ETA I think they are quite hardy for cory as well, which helped them survive my catastrophe (flood and electrics)  :)

[/quote]Funny these show reticulations as well though often is stated they only show spots.

But indeed quite a difference. Thanks Lee!

[/quote]Just like a lot of species the pattern can vary. These fish look different on white or lighter sand than on this slightly darker version. The Patten's mould together less and become more spotty.

Its the phone camera that's sapping his shine - I'll grab the proper camera at some point and grab a picture.

Another phone pic from tonight
