I bought 3 cories 2 days ago and I think one was pregnant,Today I noticed 9 white spots on the side of my aquarium,that look like eggs.Not only this,but they have been swimming really fast up and downthe sides of the tank since I got them.They were labeled ''green cory'',but I cant't find anything in the cat-e log.I looked on aqualandpetsplus.com and I saw a gloden bronze cory,that looked like it,andon the plant.cat. web site.The closest thing I found was a unknown species that is located on my ''my cats page''.
What can I do?They are still running up and down,and then resting.I noticed the belly on the one I think is a female is big as well as her body.She ( guessing ) is about 1 1/2 inch and the male ( still guessing ) is following her and is 1 inch.

Dunno about the other stuff, but sounds to me like you might have got "Green gold catfish", Corydoras melanotaenia. Looked him up yet?

Mine are much greener. They kinda look like Corydoras aeneus, but leaner, more elongated, and (usually) with better coloring.

Bronze corys (Corydoras aeneus) are often called "Green cory" around here.
