Goosedub Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Good morning, Inam setting up a tank with some larger species of fish. I’m thinking some large corydoras would be good to add. What varieties of Cory cat are on the bigger side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbie Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If you want a very large corycat you could do a brochis, they’re not true corydoras but look like them - they’re expensive and need a large tank, though. If you want a true corydora then I’ve heard that the banded cory is one of the largest - also somewhat expensive, though. The albino/bronze corydora also gets on the larger side, and is pretty cheap & hardy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSH OUTDOORS Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) @Bobbie's suggestion of Banded Cory is correct. They are the largest true Cory. Be aware though, they are a cold water species and cannot thrive in tropical fish temperatures. Mine are currently in my 150 with rainbow shiners, bristlenose, freshwater gobey and hillstream Loaches. The tank is unheated and runs between 66° & 70°. No idea what your larger fish are but keep the desired temps in mind. Mine are still young and only half grown Edited July 30, 2021 by DSH OUTDOORS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewbie Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Sterbai are not tiny. The females are a good 3 inch but the males are smaller - 2 to 2 1/2 inch. Definitely not as large as the banded but like warm waters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
