Just wondering what fish these could belong to, I have about 35 yellowish eggs that I found in my tank. The fish in my tank that aren't livebearers are 2 clown plecos (unknown sexes), 1 honey gourami, 6 peppered corys, and 8 neon tetra. I also have malaysian trumpet snails if that matter at all (i know they give live birth).
 
I can't get pictures at the moment, sorry!
 
Where did you find them? Different species lay eggs in different ways, so that would help. They are most likely from the Corys.
 
I would guess the cories as well, especially since you were able to count them so easily.  I'm assuming they were on the glass, which is a hallmark of cories.  Neons are an egg scattering species, so I doubt that they would be easy to count.  I'd guess that the plecos aren't the parents, since they are 'cave' spawners, and the lone gourami is unlikely to lay eggs.

I did find them on the glass, they ranged from 6 inches to a foot below the water line
 
Cories then, guaranteed.
 
Cories for sure :)
you might wanna think about moving them at some point, the plec might find them a tasty treat
