Fish Addict
I could use some idea(s). I believe my Panda start to re-cycle their eggs. 
And I need the idea(s) to discourage to do so.
I had this Panda corys only tank set up. There are 4 adult which I believe 3 females and a single male. 1 Female is always fat and big and another one don't get fat much (As a matter of fact I saw she make empty egg basket more than few occation) and last female is I think runt since she is smaller and hasn't grown much. They have been in 5 gallon tank by themself for few month. Fed well and start to produce 20 eggs or so weekly. I used to see them form T at night 1 hour or so before the light goes out. And when I get up in the next morning, there are eggs on the glass and I collect them and hatch them in the separate container and grow them up. Heck, I dropped some eggs or missed some eggs which hatched and survived. So I start to see few babies in the tank recently. Since I saw that and they are actually doing better than the frys only tank, I start to reintroduce few weeks old to the parents tank.
And last week one night I saw them form T at night and went to bed. There were only 1~2 eggs in the morning. With some egg sticky marks on the glass.
That didn't make me happy. So I start to think about the prevention. I did put more Java Ferns and Moss. Although I did find most of the eggs on the glass if not all, I did found few on the leaf of the Java Fern and even less time on the Moss. But I figure more crowdy it gets, less chance for them to find the eggs, I hope. Also, I have been feeding more than ever, so they won't be hungry and less incline to eat eggs. I don't think I got eggs since then. But I am thinking do some water change today and almost always they lay eggs after that. And if I see any sign of egg eating today, tomorrow.
Here is what I am planning to do.
1) I may move fat female and a male to their own tank. Since almost always she is the one produced eggs. And I am quite sure which one had eaten the eggs but less fish should be better for the safety of eggs.
Last few days, this question also came to my mind. "How smart is the Corydoras? I mean, is it possible they start to eat eggs because there are more fish than before. Because there are more frys in the same tank now that their instinct tell them not to make more offsprings? What do you thinks folks?
Anyway, I'll give them 1 more chance. And I'll move main couple to the other tank, I think. Unless someone have a good idea(s).

Too bad I don't have good camera to take picture with.
14 in the moss, 2 on the Java Fern and 2 more in the spawning mop. So I think the egg eating have been subsided.
