The fish know exactly! but we have to guess and there are many factors that can influence maturing. Having said that I would expect to be able to breed from personaly bred stock at around 10 months. Its not something that can be quoted as a precise fact because someone else that has got different water contitions and or feeding programe, may have their fish mature sooner or even a lot later.

Oh sorry for my delayed response but I didn't realize this topic got moved over here. From what I can gather as to other peoples experience breeding them mine that I just bought about a week ago are a little over 2months I Have six in a ten gallon tank that I perform 20% water changes daily so as to not let anti growth hormones set in and I feed them a largely varied diet with plenty of live food. So I'm thinking they should mature as fast as possible with me doing all that for them. I really like these cory's I think theyre my favorite ones. Of course about the rarest cory I've ever got my hands on was only the barbatus but still.
