So I have a really fat Cory and it’s been this way for months and I can’t tell if it pregnant or bloated

Cories don’t get pregnant. They are egg layers. She may be egg laden. Does not look good. Definitely bloated or infested with parasites. Do you have males in the tank? @Colin_T thoughts?

Salt won’t help with eggs. They say you can gently squeeze them out but I wouldn’t try it. Get a male quickly and see if he can entice her to drop them. Add cool water to get temp to drop a few degrees and see if that entices a spawn. She could actually explode.
 
Looks bloated and if it's been like that for a month, it could be a tumour or cyst.

Did it bloat up suddenly a month ago, or did it slowly get fatter?
