Are these Cory eggs?

I actually saw dad eat two eggs right before I removed them from the main tank. However, I think most of the eggs were eaten by the Tetras.

Cool...I look forward to baby cories :dance2:
 
I kinda agree with cloud, the snout is not as pointy, however, there's a tinge of green when you look at certain angles...so I'm not sure. In any case, they'll be soon enjoying a new home....a new 20 gal tank :)
 
Corys fertilize the eggs as they lay them, so waiting for them to be fertilized later isn't an issue. If you ever get to see it, it's really cool. They swim in a "t" formation, with the female's mouth at the male's vent to collect the sperm in her mouth. She carries a single egg at a time in her pectoral fins, and places that somewhere, then "spits" the sperm out on to it.
 
My corydoras aeneus were actually being sold as "Green Corydoras". When viewed with a cool white fluorescent bulb they appear to have a green tint. If you look carefully their black band also seems to have green flecks.
 
Yes, mine are also slightly green when you look at them in certain angles.

Update: all the uneaten eggs eventually succumbed to fungus (didn't have methylene blue). I'm not all that dissapointed since I am still cycling my new tank and don't have space if I have cory fry anyways.
 
I would just make note of anything that you may (or may not) have done that triggered the spawning and try again when you are better prepared to look after the fry. At least now you know you have fish that will breed. Hopefully you will get to raise a batch someday soon.
