Just wondering what the max size for bronze corys is?

Hi Kentuckycatfish

Female C.aeneus (bronze corys) usually get to be around 3" but the males are a bit smaller.

Here's a picture of one of my big wild caught bronze females:

I can't measure them because they won't hold still, but you can see that she's a substantial fish.

Most bronze corys are tank raised and it's not unusual for them to be a little smaller than the wild caught ones.

Here is a site that has a pic of Orson. It isn't very clear hoping to get a better one soon. His exact measurements are 4.75 inches head to tail.

She's a beauty Inch! And what a lovely colour - I must admit that ours are not so "bronze" although appear healthy and happy - well they keep breeding so I guess they are fine!

Are wild caught bronze cories more bronze? Ours are probably about 1 inch long (minus tail) and haven't grown for ages. They seem o sprout when we first get them and then stop so I guess they aren't going to get much bigger now.
