One of the most common Julies in the aquarium hobby, Golden Julies may also be called Yellow or Ornate Julies. These fish are endemic to Lake Tanganyika in Africa and can usually be found in the intermediate portion of the lake between the shoreline and open water. These fish tend to prefer rocky areas where they can establish their territory. Golden Julies may vary in overall coloration from light brown to yellow and most specimens exhibit thick, black bands running horizontally along the body. These fish have elongated dorsal fins and rounded caudal fins, both of which may be edged in bright blue.
