The range of sizes that adult Corys grow to can be as little a 25-32 mm SL for C. pygmaeus, up to 95-100 mm SL. for C. robustus, so you need to be a bit more specific in regard to the species you want to breed. Secondly it is not the size that is the determining factor it is whether the fish are mature, which can be anywhere between 4 months to 12 months, again depending on species.
