I don't have as many tanks running as I used to, but I still have 5 55gals, 1 30gal., 1 29gal., and 3 20gals. for a total of 394 gallons aka 1491 liters.

Thank you for the move, fluttermoth. :) I don't know what kind of corys you have, but they all are similar in this respect. Here's a picture of a fully mature wild caught C. aeneus. In it you can see that her fin, fully extended, is rather large. The male will always have a smaller one.
