Hey guys, need your help once again.... sorry.
I got my new fish, and I got 3 cory cats as a surprise bonus. Therefore, I don't know much about them. I was watching the new babies tonight and I noticed that they have a little.... how do I explain it.... kind of a bump, on their bellies. Is It normal? If they were human it would remind me of a pregnant woman. Anybody have any input? Thank you in advance everybody.

I'm guessing you got some very healthy female cory cats. This is a very good sign, and means that they are well fed and healthy. More info, go to this website and find out:

I'm not sure what kind of cories, you have, but here are some commonly sold ones

Thank you, I have the albino cory cats, I have 3 of them. It's good to know that's a good sign rather then a bad one.

They could be "Balloon" corys, another man-made variety....

I doubt that. But there's such a thing??

Enjoy your corys!

I didn't know balloon corys existed either, until I asked for some Aeneus at a lfs, and was shown a tank. I thought something was wrong with the fish until I checked the label on the tank and it said "Aeneus Balloon".

They looked like THIS

Just a quick something - if you haven't already, get them some caves. They love them!
