bloated cory

[Mckitrick]

ok so i have a bloated albino cory cat and he looks huge i just noticed earlier and what can i do to bring it down. I cant help but feel sory for this little guy he looks like he will explode any second.

I'd just avoid feeding him any food and clean water will help as well. Sorry! I know how it feels

While were on the cory subject mine are gulping air from the surface is this normal?

 

[TotallyCoral]

Yes, that is completely normal Cory behavior. That's just what they do. Apparently they're able to breath air from the surface because of a labyrinth lung just like bettas and gouramis. If they do it too often, then there might be something wrong with them or your water quality.

What mine do is they jolt up to the surface then straight back down again. So if yours do that it's fine.
