carpe_diem Fish Addict Dreamer Posts: 555 Kudos: 292 Votes: 51 Registered: 18-Apr-2004	my albino cories are breeding at the moment. Ive noticed a couple of them have enlarged front bellies..that little white bit underneath towards the front. Is this normal and related to them breeding? thanks!

Most likely you're referring to their stomach area, meaning that you just have well-fed catfish. If they are allowed to gorge themselves on food, their bellies will bulge outwards somewhat. It's pretty common, as cories are happy to eat whenever they can find edibles. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
