it just looks like a well fed cory to me! my peppered cory looks like that and he`s ok! but i`ll leave the diagnoses to the corydoras pros!

I'd agree. This kind of pronounced belly was quite usual for panda corys I used to have. I wouldn't worry about it. What is a bit strange to me is body shape. Fish look unusually short compared to body high but this might be caused by camera and fish look a bit different in reality. How old are they?

these fish bought them for 15 days import, and are in the quarantine tank, the size are young and had some losses, treated them with praziquantel and the worms to flubendazole, I now treat them with sera med flagellol. I see improvements but they were at the bottom without moving and without color.
