Pregnant Corydoras?

I have a 29 gallon tank, 1 honey gourami, 6 harlequin rasboras, 5 flame tail tetra, 4 green neon tetra, and 1 panda corydora.( before you ask originally had 6 Cory’s about a year ago but with in a week 4 died and when I bought three more they died as well so I stopped trying to keep them and my other one died about a month ago). I have a heater and filter and water is at 72. Last water change was a week ago and I do water changes about every 2-3 weeks. I don’t have any test strips because I ran out the other day and I bought some on Amazon so I don’t know what the tank is like but the last time I checked about 4 days ago everything was fine but had little bit of a high nitrate. They are feed fish flakes, bottom feeder pellets, and frozen brine shrimp or blood worms every Friday.

My panda Cory has a gray looking mass on its stomach that I noticed when feeding today. Sorry about the photos looking not that good but my Cory doesn’t like to stay still. She likes to glass surf so I have seen her belly a lot and only noticed it today. I have never had a pregnant fish before so I’m not she if it’s eggs or a mass. I’ll try to get some better photos and upload

I do understand that Cory’s are egg layers and if she does have eggs they are not fertile

I know, I thought it was carrying eggs too then I realized all 6 corys had exactly the same bump.
