Hi posting this here because the catfish section get WAY less traffic - thanks -
ok my q - i bought a couple of albino cories to go with the group of em i already have , they are currently in my q tank - however i noticed with them their stomachs have a very dark internal spot almost like a gravid spot but they are very young - is this normal i know because of their coloration you coul prob see a spot internally on them - on my other cories you used to be able to see this but not nearly as easily as this ?
i think it's prob normal but can't be sure pls help!
thank you

I just bought 2 emerald cories the other day for my platty tank and they have the same thing. I bought 2 others a coulple months ago and didn't notice this. Thought I was going nuts. :confused: But as they have adapted to the new water and they have been fed it is going away. Probably a malnutrition thing at the pet store. They don't feed em enough at the LFS, in most cases.
