To clear the confusion, cories cannot be pregnant. There is a term for it, but can't remember. I just see aquarists refer to this full abdomen full of eggs (as you are referring to)as "eggy." They are just eggs, not embryos yet!

Cories lay their eggs and then they are fertilized (or not) by a male cory in a courtship "ritual."

As far as I know cories are very prolific and hopefully you at least see them and the eggs.

There are quite a few cory breeder/connoisseurs on the forum who have much more experience than I do. They can share their tips.

Sorry for adding to confusion.

I would say it looks like you may see fertilized cory eggs on glass or decor very soon! 👍

Some use their finger to gently roll the eggs off the glass to a small container to transfer to breeding net or other tank.
