Fat cory

Hey guys

i noticed last night that one of my corrys are really fat and the other is like normal does anyone know why?

i dont know how to tell if its got eggs or just the fat kid on the block

will get pics when i get home today

 

I have this in 2 different tanks, One fat one thinner in 30l tank and 2fat 3 thinner in 100l. Interested to see the answer. Are they the same species and if so which ones? Mine are Sterbai in the 30l and a 2 Sterbai, 2 Juli and a lonely Panda in the 100l.

 

they just normal run of the mill corys and they the same species but the same type of thing 1 fat 1 thinner and just makes me think hahaha

 

Really fat =Morbidly Obese.
Normal =Obese.

If this is the same as what I have with my Peppered cory's, 1 fat and 3 thin, it might be ok to say congratulations. The fat one is most properly a female with eggs. Soon the thin ones will start harrassing here before she clamps here anal fins,with the eggs, searshing for a place to stick them. Or on the other hand it might just be the fastes swimmer at feeding time

 

My 2 in the 30l have done a bit of a "love cuddle" since I got them so I also thought one was male and the other female but I've seen nothing so far. There are Neons and guppies in the tank so that is maybe why?
