Catfish, what a perfect creation
3 months is a good age if your thinking about selling them to a petstore (though hanging on to them till they are a bit older will improve their survival rate - and you'll get more money for them
.
But if your friend knows what she's doing there is no reason not to send her some after they are about a month old. The only reason being that if she lives far away their might be slight changes in the water parameters that if not transfered slowly & carefully could upset the cory. If she lives close you could give her eggs if you wanted![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)
Corys grow very slowly even by 3 months they may only be 1" big (partly depends on what temperature you raise them at).
