Pretty cool!
So I am sitting here at the computer watching one of my corydoras lay her eggs. I am wondering to myself where in the world the rest of them? Only about 20 on the glass. Or maybe she's just starting to lay the eggs? Hmm, let me look around a bit...
8 tanks running now:
1x 220 gallon, 2x55 gallon, 1x40 gallon long, 1x29 gallon, 1x20 gallon long, 1x5.5 gallon, 1x2 gallon
Gouramis, barbs, rasboras, plecos, corys, tetras, fancy guppies, swordtails, ottos, rainbow shark, upside-down catfish, snails, and Max and Sparkles the bettas.

Awesome! Its said that corys need to be in perfect conditions to breed, so it looks like you are doing a good job.

Did you happen to have a low pressure system move through your area just before they bred GM?

The eggs are small, maybe about 2mm in size.
I have 9 corys in this tank, all bronze except for one peppered.
Low pressure system--good question. I live near Bedford, PA. Looks like a low pressure system exited recently. Noticed her laying her eggs just today, so it makes sense that the low pressure system did induce spawning.
I have spawns in this tank about 3-4 times per year. This is the first time that I am taking care to have more than just a few survivors. Separating the eggs...OH MY GOSH! I literally just this second shifted my gaze to the tank (it is only about 2-3 feet to my right and I see a baby cory, about 1/2 inch long, grazing along the bottom. HOLY COW!8 tanks running now:
1x 220 gallon, 2x55 gallon, 1x40 gallon long, 1x29 gallon, 1x20 gallon long, 1x5.5 gallon, 1x2 gallon

Reason I asked about the low pressure is that and a partial water change with rainwater is a standard trigger getting Corydoras to breed.

Just going to leave him in there. This happened to me once before where I didn't even know they had laid eggs and all of a sudden, BOOM! Babies. Originally Posted by Tolley
