If you're as obsessed with adorable bottom-dwellers as I am, especially Julii Cory Catfish or Corydoras Julii, let's be friends! Lately, I've been learning a lot about Julii Cory Catfish care. There's a lot we need to pay attention to, from tank size to plenty of variety in what they eat. Do you want to take a peek? Simply scroll down!

Tank Setup and Size
Julii Cory Catfish thrive in a cozy tank. You can expect a 10-gallon minimum for the dwarf types. But I would recommend 20 gallons or more for extra wiggle room. These fish are like a fine gravel or sand substrate. Moreover, this type of fish needs a hiding place. Thus, you can add driftwood or plants.

Feeding and Diet
The biggest challenge with Julii Cory Catfish? Making sure they actually get to eat! These little fish are not algae munchers, so they need a balanced diet of sinking food like wafers, live worms, or Repashy gel. In my experience, feeding larger food that settles in the substrate is good. It gives them time to snack without losing out to faster eaters.

Water Quality and Maintenance
When it comes to Julii Cory care, water quality is everything. These cute fish love water that is slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. You have to pay attention to the cleanliness of the tank water. Hence, make sure to change the water regularly and provide a good filtration system.

Breeding and Spawning
Breeding Julii Corys is surprisingly easy and very rewarding! You can encourage spawning with some cooler water changes paired with high-quality food. These conditions get the fish excited to spawn. Don't forget to separate the eggs to keep them safer.
Conclusion
I hope you understand everything I've written in this note. Everything is based on my personal experience of successfully raising Julii Cory Catfish. Basically, you just need to provide a comfortable place to live, nutritious food, and cleanliness. Thus, your fish will live happily.
