Actually Peppered Cory Cats can only get around 2.5 inches max. And that would be in a big tank.

I have to see what my LFS even carries!
What about skunk Cory's?

No they can reach 4". Some of my friends have them and they are all in 40-75g tanks and are 3-4".
Really? I've never seen a Cory Cat in the Corydoras genus get over 3 inches. I've seen Cory Cats in the Brochis genus get over 3 inches. Do you have a picture?
I can't get over to my LFS for a few days. I work through there summer hours tomorrow, and I am heading to Pennsylvania for a couple days after that. I'd love to see some pictures of your Cory's though!

OP- if you follow the link I posted, you will see a page of thumbnail pictures. Look for cories that you like the look of, and click on the thumbnail- it will take you to the profile for that Cory (incl size)
There are a few that can get over 3". Green Cory can too.
Unfortunately I didn't take a pic of the cats.
All cories are great, however where I am, the variety is severely limited, and except for bronze, albino and peppereds, they are quite expensive (I wanted green stripe aeneus, but they are upwards of $40 for tiny ones)

Mine favorites are Aspidoras albater. They are listed in the cory family and look similar but with slimmer bodies. Absolutely adorably cut. Aspidoras albator / Aspidoras albater / Aspidoras / Home - Corydoras
That's because green cory cats aren't in the corydoras genus. They are in the brochis genus like he said before.
I like the one I used in my avitar , one of the pair I have.
Now after looking at this link to all the different species I am having a hard time figureing out exactly what it is.
This is my new favorite lol. It looks awesome!
