Hiya, just been watching my trills swimming up and down the glass as they usually do and noticed that the bigger one of the two has a big pouch type thing on her underneath! I've never noticed this before and am unsure as to wether she's just fat from feeding or is full of eggs! I can't get a pic as she is too fast, I'm assuming she's a she as she is considerably bigger than my other trilli.
Anyone got any pics of pregnant cories for me to compare with?
Thanks, Amy xx
 
Its possible she could be carrying eggs,if she is she'll will spawn pretty soon,Tri's hide their eggs extremely well under plants etc,mine very rarely put them on the glass like my albinos...

If she's ready to breed she'll become very active with the males chasing her,quite amusing to watch,lots of quivering goes on with my tri's :rolleyes:

Here's pics of my albino carrying eggs just before she laid them on the glass.all cories usually carry the eggs the same way between the pelvic fins :good: Tri's tend to spawn less eggs than most prolific spawners like albinos/bronze & peppers.
With eggs


Spawning
 
Hmm your albino looks more like a sack that is seperate where as mine is more just her underside looking fuller. Maybe she's just eaten too much then =[ owww I got so excited aswell. I've only got 2 trillis, I think 1 is male and 1 is female, is it unlikely that they would spawn seeing as there's only those 2 of the same breed?

They tend to have a chunky underside if they've eaten well,eggs aren't noticeable until they usually have gone into the 'T' position then the eggs appear ready for her to spawn :)

Heres my Tri breeding log when my tri's were breeding :)

Yes they will breed with only two if they are m/f :) flip just had his albinos spawn with just a pair of corys :)
 
Ahh so at least it's possible then. What do you mean by the 'T' position?
I'll take a looksie at your log. I'd love them to spawn! Though I wouldn't be able to keep them as I haven't got the room really =\
