When to rehome baby Corys

[CrazyCory42]

At what size do you start to rehome baby bronze corys?

I’ve got a 24L tank with about 30 in but they’re only 1.5cm big so far (15 weeks old). I know they can’t stay in the little tank for too long, but how big do they need to be before I can rehome them?

I don’t have any other fish in the tank other than the corys.

Tank specs:
Size 24L
Fluval U2 internal filter
Temp 26C
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 40ppm (the water out the tap is 40ppm)
50% weekly water change

What species are we talking? For me, i wouldn't move on a young fish until its easily identifiable, exhibiting some stereotypical behaviours, and feeding well on prepared foods!

Ah sorry I forgot to put that part. They’re bronze corys and 15 weeks old. They’re all very active, eating well and swimming well. Some of the bigger ones are now developing that bronze colouration but some of the smaller ones are still spotty and stripy.

If youre handing them off to an LFS, the easiest thing to do would be to go in and discuss it with them. I'd just consider what would be acceptable t the eventual keeper, , sounds like the bigger ones might be almost there

If rehoming privately, I'd try to ask what they already have in the tank. If they're going in with slow peaceful fish, your bronze corys should be able to get enough food but if going in with bigger or more boisterous fish like rainbows for example. They probably won't be able to compete to get enough food.
