Hello.
I've had the same 2 Cories since I got into the hobby about a year ago, and they've stuck with me through thick and thin. Since the, I swelled their population to 6 (but two new ones from the same batch died within several weeks, their fins slowly disappeared and eventually a strange fungus built up on their back. Don't think it was fin rot, wasn't ugly enough to be it). I still have 4 of them, and I've noticed that they've gotten quite fat. I don't mean chunky, their bellies are quite large. I mean FAT.
I don't think they're sick because they're still eating normally and they've been this way for several weeks now. I suppose it could be from over-feeding since I drop an extra 2 Hikari tropical wafers in for my Apple Snails. Perhaps the Cories are nibbling on these in addition to their usual feed?
I've never seen them this big before, just wondering if they're either sick or just a bunch of fatsos.
Thanks!
