I have two bronze and one spotted cories. How long does it take for cories to reach full size? Max length is between 2.75 and 3 inches from what I researched.

Unfortunately none of the LFS have any full grown cories to show me. any one care to submit pics of full grown ones? I have them in a ten gallon tank and plan to move them to a 20gal+ tank once I can scrounge up enough cash to do so.

I have some (bronze and three-line)cories that are about 10 months old now... they are about as long as my thumb (I don't have a ruler handy). When I purchased them they were about half the size they are now.

I am pretty sure they're about as big as they're going to get, and like I said, I think it took roughly 3/4 of a year for them to get this size.

Unfortunately I do not have any pics of them for you to compare.

Some of my cories are over 5 years old now. They reached their max size after a couple years, mine are maybe 3 inch if you include their tails...most stayed from 2-2.5. They are slow growers.
