Pregnant...

[hensonc4098]

Came back from my hols yesterday to find one of the albino corys was fat as a barrel Was wondering if it was maybe carrying eggs or if it just needed to go on a diet
I took some pictures and looking at them on the laptop I find that the clear ones don't show it well at all whereas the rubbish, fuzzy ones do I thought fuzzy but useful would be better but I apologize for the absolute rubbishness of the photos

Thanks

Well then, the drinks are on me!
Umm... so what do I do now? They are in a community tank at te moment but I could move them into a 35L tank that only has 8 krib fry in it if that would be better.
What do they need to spawn on?
Basically treat me like an idiot and tell me everything I need to know, because I am one - an idiot I mean
Thanks

Not to be less than helpful, but there are hundreds of sources of that information on the Internet, including this site. Examine the "stickies," here and do a Google search on "spawning Corys" and you will find everything you need to know.

Inchworm can point you to specific links, on this site, but I don't think we are allowed to post "off-site" sources, so you must live by the mantra - "Google is your friend."

Like I said, my intent is NOT to be unfriendly or unhelpful, but this info has been posted here, literally hundreds of times. Try the "search" feature on this site.

I have 135 tanks of fish to take care of, so I can't stop to give a course in "Cory Breeding 101." Sorry. - Frank

Females are just plumper

Yeh I went out and searched already And found lots of info, vids etc.
She's definately not as fat as the female in the pinned video so I'm guessing it will be a while yet?
