Wrong fish?

[Julii]

Hi all, some of you may have seen my other thread about two Julii Corydoras I had that passed away and a third one that was poorly. I did a course of meditation for the tank and the poorly one has survived and is thriving. So I've left it a week or so and decided as I only had 6 Corydoras and now there are 4 I need to get two more to replace the ones that died.

So I went to Maidenhead aquatics yesterday and bought two Julii, I didn't pay much attention to them until I got home and realised one of them looks nothing like my Julii. After doing a bit of googling I think it is a C102 Leopard Cory

Will it be okay on its own with 5 Julii for company? They are in a 56L tank with 7 Cardinal Tetra so I don't want to overpopulate the tank by having to get more!

I forgot to say it is happily shoaling with the others and almost seems to be leading the group!

Corys should be quite happy to shoal with similar looking corys. In fact usually they are generally happy to shoal with any corys

In my experience corys of different species don't shoal or mix, but there's no antagonism at all.

I thought some of the species with similar patterns but different head/snout shape shoaled together in nature for safety in numbers, but took advantage of different feeding niches.
