You must be doing somethin right, thats one healthy lookin c. trilineus. I would have to agree on those rounded corys being females full of eggs.

My baby Cory is still very much alive, in spite of being deformed. No doubt his parents were siblings. Sigh. This brings up the scary thought of what to do when he is an adult. Isolate him from his kind?
Sigh.
What kind of Cory is it? Not the albino the baby. I like its color.

Awwww bless,whats wrong with him ?

Well, several years ago I bought all five when they were babies, from the same place. They were probably siblings. Now they had a baby. That's close inbreeding. When I noticed how crooked the spine is on this little one I examined the others closely. Sure enough, one of the five also has a crooked spine, just not as noticeable.
So if I leave this one in with his parents & aunts & uncles and they breed…
Obviously, he gets around very well to have survived so long! And he is probably going to be just fine at this size…if he stays away from trouble. In this case I think the biggest threat are the loaches as the Cory don't bother him now. I believe it was the Gourami (that I rehomed) that got the rest.
Oh i see what you mean awww bless him though eh !!!
Yes, and he will always have a home with me.
Poor guy, it stinks when any animal is inbred.
Yes, and he will always have a home with me.
Yes, but how many of us think of that when we buy more than one from the same tank. Think…guppies, mollies, etc.
