I know the emerald greens get larger and I have them in my 30 gallon. But I want a cory that gets large, if not larger then the emeralds for my 75 gallon. I want a big shoal of cories! I love them! I tried to look for bearded cories on aquabid as I know they get big but couldn't find any. I would like something I can get online easily too. Thanks! ( oh and no albinos ;) )
 
Hello Sid...

Emeralds are the largest that are readily available. You can check out "Giant Corydoras". The species is called "barbatus". They'll grow to 5 inches plus. These guys are long and slender, much different looking than the standard Cory that's short and wide.

Thanks for the replies! I think I might just go with a huge shoal of leopard or panda cories. If anyone knows someone who sells nice leopard cories cheap let me know! Thanks!
 
Looks into rabauti cory's. I have 7 of these in my 55g and a few of them are a good 2.5 to 3 inches long. They don't come around for sale by me often but when they do I'll buy another one or two more.
