What size tank is needed for Albino corys to grow their maximum size? (Around 7-8cm)

I have 6 in a 75 litre, will they be able to grow to their full size in this?

Your 75l works out to about a 20g tank. If you keep the tank uncrowded and feed them well you might get pretty close to maximum size. A bigger tank would be better obviously. Don't forget that cories can be some of the slowest growing fish around so it may take a while.

It also depends on what species they are. The two species most commonly seen in albino form are C. paleatus and C. aeneus. Of these, the C. paleatus (females) typically grow the largest.

its not the size of the tank that limits there growth its infrequent water changes!! if you change at least three gallons a day youll see exponential growth
