I have a cory catfish in my discus tank that I thought died since I have not seen it for days. i looked everywhere and found it nto being able to swim b/c its belly is BLOATED and huge. The belly is super round and looks heavy. The cory catfish struggles to swim. Is it pregnant? its always alone though.
 
Ít's possible that she's full of eggs, my female albino cories get so big they look like they have the dreaded bloat! Any pics possible?
 
shes always hiding under my plants but i know shes alive since shes moving to diff spots each time but struggle to move. I see her gills moving so i know she not dead yet. Ill snap one if i see it close up to the tank.
 
Do you know what kind of cory it is and do you have more than one of that kind?
 
I have two sterbais, one julii, but the one thats pregnant is just a spotted kind
