Males get to 6.6 cm females 7.1cm. Mine personally grew to about 6.8cm not sure what their sex was as I had them in highschool which is eons ago now. Okay a decade, but still.

I actually have 2 Paleatus females who lived well into adulthood and passed away, who's bodies are still in my freezer because I may or may not have forgotten to bury them before the weather got too cold. 😓

Sten measured 6.8 cm (2.7 in) and Amber measured 7.3 centimeters (2.875 inches).  Sten was I think about 6 years old, and Amber was 9. Amber I'd say was at the upper end for the size of a Peppered Cory, but yes they definitely can get decently large, though they don't have the chunky physique of a Bronze Cory. 

Writing this is making me miss these two, I have other Peppered Cories but the tank doesn't feel the same without them.
