- Using Axelrod as an ID guide is a perilous adventure. C. julii have a
- darker base colour and somewhat different lineup of dots, but I'd have to
- have the two species side by side to tll the difference. There are dozens
- of Corydoras species that all look alike and are all imported under one of
- the known species' names. That's why you should always by them by a dozen
- to be sure that they are at least the same species.
