How big do cory's get? Does it depend on the specific breed? Also, they like to live in groups right?

jodi,
Depending on the breed of cory you're looking at, about 2-3 inches. I've only had Julii cories but I quickly scanned different breeds on planetcatfish and didn't see one listed over 3 inches. I seem to remember there is a cory that got a little over 3 inches but I could be wrong. And they do like to be in groups. I started with two, but I've read that six is a better number. HTH

Thanks for the reply. I am looking into a new tank and they are such cute little guys that I am looking into adding them, if I get a new tank. Now I think they are a good possiblility. I just don't know which species I want yet lol.

When I got my tank I didn't know that much about them. I had read about them on Ac and decided to get 2 to have as bottom feeders. I walked into the store and asked if they had any cory catfish not even realizing how broad a question it was. They had a few different breeds but my wife and I liked the look of the julii cory the best. They quickly became our favorite fish in the tank. (Even more when they spawned. I have mom, dad and two youngsters) I think they have great personalities and I love watching them when they go in to one of their crazy active periods. If you get cories I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy them. Good luck.
