- Most species grow to a maximum length of under three inchessome under 1 inch, like the pygmy cory (Corydoras pygmaeus). But body size isnt the only factor to consider when choosing the right tank size for Corydoras.
- The reasons mentioned by DoubleDutch were some of mine, but here are some other reasons I have: Corydoras pygmaeus are very active, I'd say more so than bottom-dwelling species of cory. I myself have kept them in a 10g, and they weren't happy. They were barely active and died off slowly over a period of 3-4 months. I believe Coradee also had an experience similar, when she had them in a 10, they were less active than they were when she moved them to a larger tank.
