Peppered Cory Eggs?

Hi Folks,

I found some eggs attached to my aquarium glass today and I thought they may be from my Peppered Cories. It's either them or snails.

I don't have a ruler in the house so I can't measure them but they're beige with a dark dot in the middle and clustered in groups of two in a few locations.

Can someone offer a link to a photo so I can compair?

Thanks.
Christie

Sounds like Cory eggs...

Here's a pic of a female Paleatus in the midst of laying eggs:

Snail eggs are small and take at least a week to hatch. Snail eggs will be in a tight clump (it is hard to tell individual eggs apart) and attached to the glass firmly. Cory eggs are much larger, are in loose clumps (you can see each individual egg), and will fall off the glass easily when touched and will most likely stick to anything you touch them with. They hatch in about 2 to 3 days.
