Guppy_man Hobbyist Posts: 114 Kudos: 128 Votes: 1 Registered: 27-Oct-2003	Within the last 2 or 3 days 1 of my albino cories has become really big.It does look like it is carrying eggs,but I can't really tell.It acts normal and doesn't seem effected by it.I haven't changed the food or anything,but did do about a 30% water change on the 21st.And it was not big like that.On the 24th my girlfriend noticed that the cory had a big belly.Could she be pregnant or what?
