False Julii Toxin?

  • #1
So Im interested in a 20-29 gallon community tank and I want some bottom dwellers. Im in between Kuhli loaches and False Julii Cories. Im leaning more towards Julii since i find it hard to feed nocturnal fish sometimes. Anyways, I have pretty bad paranoia and anxiety so seeing things about the notorious Corydora Toxin worries me. My LFS has Julii and is about 15 minutes away from me. Im afraid of poisoning the tank, the cories during transport, or even stinging myself. So are the Julii cories known for the toxin? Should i be worried? Btw I am a beginner. This would be my second tank and it will be in my room which is rarely busy.

I haven't seen anything here where it seems to be a huge issue. I just would try not to put aggressive fish in with them.

Many corys are capable of producing a toxin, some are more prone to it C.trilineatus (your false julii) & C.sterbai being a couple of examples, but it’s a very rare occurrence so I wouldn’t worry too much.
Having said that if you are transporting a large number of corys I’d suggest bagging them in small groups of 2-3 per bag

Ah ok. Yeah i plan to get 6-7. They will be with a honey Gourami, 10 neons, 2 amanos, and some otos. Possibly a bmaboo shrimp but that would be later down the line.

Do you think amanos or honey Gouramis can bother them?

I think your other fish will be fine. Honey Gouramis are great fish. I would just ask the store to give you extra large bags and ask them to bag only a few cories in each bag. You can even offer to bring your own big bags and have the store use them for your fish. But seriously I would not worry in a 15 minutes traveling time.
