The Julii cory is a small, peaceful bottom dweller with intricate patterning. They prefer fine sand substrate so their barbs don't get injured as they are a catfish. Cover should also be provided for security. They're a tropical species so a heater is essential and they prefer to be kept in schools of at least 6. They're foraging omnivores and will accept quality sinking foods and frozen foods. Feeding a varied diet will ensure the fish are in optimum condition. Under no circumstances should they be expected to survive on ‘left-overs’ from other inhabitants of the aquarium or relied on to ‘clean’ the aquarium. Females tend to grow larger, and sexually mature individuals are noticeably broader and deeper-bodied than males.
