Most Cories don't get anywhere near that length, and many don't even pass about 2". -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian. |

Maybe your LFS was giving you the total inches? Then again the LFS could have just been really confused, it's been known to happen  .^_^ [hr width='40%'] I need to calculate,what creates my own madness... and I am waiting for disaster"  |

| bruce Fingerling Posts: 40 Kudos: 34 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Feb-2005 | I got two of them. There very active and curious too, very cute. I didn't know corys stayed so small. My lfs that I asked like three times in a row, said 5" it shocked me at first but they were cute so I made room for them, but now I think they could get eaten when my other fish grow, but I'll make room or something my fish are my family and I don't want any of them to get eaten, other then the guppy fry cause other wise I ould be over ridden with them. Thank you guys for clearing that info up for me...  |

They'll be more active that way & they'll be really happy.  http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

But many don't get that big. You'd need a pretty spacious aquarium to raise them to that size. Congratulations on getting the Pandas ... that makes two new Panda owners I've learned about in the past 2 minutes! Oh yes. Get them in numbers. 4 is OK, but wait till you get 8 like I have in the main aquarium ... I was in the chat room earlier telling everyone how my Pandas were going nuts over the Hikari algae wafers and believe me, 8 of them are non-stop entertainment!
