Possible breeding behavour?

I have 5 Paleatus(peppered) Cories in my community tank and I have noticed a few tihngs that seem they may be breeding. First off, a few of them have gotten really large lately, like they are full of eggs. Secondly, while watching them last night they would follow each other around and "sniff" each other. Kind of like when they are searching for food. One would swim half way up the tank and swim in some plants and another would follow if and "sniff" all along its sides. If would then try to stay attached as the other fish swam off, like a Pleco would attach it self to a large goldfish. Could this be pre-breeding or breeding behaviour?

Thanks!

This sounds like the typical T position adopted when corydoras spawn.

Thanks. Ive not seen the actual "T" yet. They where more parallel but i think they may have tried to get a T
