OMG that cory is obese....:(
Nope, it's a mature female about to spawn. 2 days later she was as slim as a string. All my females look like this a week or so before they spawn. Then they slim down again. Keep in mind, these girls are at least 2.5 maybe 3 years old already. If you compare them to my males you will notice that the males are healthy, but never fat. It's all eggs...

Nothing to worry about. It is normal for the females to be bigger and chunkier than the males. Before they release their eggs they are at their biggest. Keep in mind that the females will always be bigger than the males...
