Julia fish, also known as Julii Corydoras, are a type of catfish. Catfish are generally solitary or live in small groups of 2-3 individuals, rather than forming large shoals.
Here's why:
* Bottom Dwellers: Julii Corydoras are bottom dwellers, which means they spend most of their time foraging on the substrate. This lifestyle doesn't lend itself to shoaling behavior, as they don't need to move in coordinated groups for protection or hunting.
* Territorial: While not aggressively territorial, Julii Corydoras can be somewhat possessive of their chosen areas in the tank, especially when it comes to food.
However, keeping a group of 6 or more Julii Corydoras together can provide some benefits:
* Social Interaction: They will show social behaviors and interact with each other, forming loose bonds.
* Reduced Stress: Being in a group can reduce stress levels and encourage natural behaviors.
* Increased Activity: They might be more active and playful in a group setting.
Remember: It's important to provide adequate space and hiding places for your Julii Corydoras, regardless of how many you keep. They are peaceful and enjoy exploring their environment.
by Dr Robert Tillner, Product Manager, Aller Aqua Research, Germany In most areas in the world, nature follows seasonality in one way or another. This affects both physiology and behaviour of animals, across different genera. As many fish species are poikilothermic, their internal temperature varies considerably, as a result of fluctuations in the ambient environmental temperature. In a changing climate,
Centuries ago, experts believed that algae were part of the Plantae kingdom. Their observation is understandable because, like plants, they can photosynthesize, and some algae like seaweed do resemble them. While algae play a beneficial role in an ecosystem, an excessive amount of these organisms in a fish tank can wreak havoc on water conditions. Others recommend adding algae-eaters like fish to contain this issue. Thus, if you already have tilapia in your system, then you surely want t
Offshore aquaculture is considered a very dangerous and strenuous occupation. Subsea inspections are currently one of the most frequent aquaculture operations. A tear in a net can cause a farm to lose its fish stock which directly affects its bottom line. Farms are sanctioned by regulatory agencies and insurance companies for fish escapes. Farms are also mandated to inspect their structures to minimise fish escap
A freshwater fish that is found in the Amazon and other tropical areas, neon tetra fish are one of the most popular freshwater aquarium fishes. These small colorful fish have a life span of about 3-4 years and can grow to be up to 1 inch long. They have no scales or spines which makes them perfect for beginners who want a friendly pet that will not cause any harm to their hands.
