Hi! I just have a few questions about habrosus corys. First off, how big do they typically get? I found a lot of different answers, ranging from 1/2"-11/2", so I need to know what the official size is. Do they typically stay on the bottom, or do they swim in the mid section of the tank too? Does a school of 6-12 sound good? Thanks!

Well, .5-1.5 inches sounds like typical purchase size to adult size. 1.5 inches or so is typical adult size. There really is no official size, as in "2 inches, period, end of story" because there is some variation, so a range is more likely to be to cover the typical sizes. They're cories. They spend most of their time on the bottom, with occasional dashes to the surface. Yes.
