Cory full of eggs?

[Raechal]

My albino cory, One-eyed Jack (he/she only has one eye and I don't know if it is male or female I don't know how to tell) is rather plump in the stomach. He/she doesn't have pineconing scales and shows no other signs of disease or infection at all. My bronze/green cory (much bigger than the albino) follows the albino cory everywhere and I often find them in the T formation. They are the only cories in my tank because they were the only ones who survived from my little brother's 10 gallon when it suddenly started making all of the fish breathe rapidly. I guess it was the gravel I added from walmart.

But anyways what are the behaviors of mating cories and how can you tell if they are pregnant or even if they are male or female?

Sorry the pics of the albino came out so blurry I don't know why it wouldn't take a better pic of him/her.

Lately she/he has been hanging out in that one corner and the bronze/green cory will usually guard it mostly at night time.

Hi Raechal

When seen together, is one sort of rounded in shape, while the other one appears slim? If so, you have a male and a female. If they appear similar, then you just have one gender.

I cannot tell from the pictures because of the angles they were taken at, but if you can post pics of them that have been taken from the top looking down at them, I'll be happy to tell you, if I can.

You might want to take them out and put them into a dish for the picture.

The green cory is very slim and long and the albino is more pudgy and short. I will try to take more pics later.
