If the angels are fanning & protecting the eggs, they are angel eggs. Angels will eat cory eggs, if you see angels eating instead of protecting they are cory eggs.

Some of it depends on how close to the surface the eggs end. Angels will spawn up until their nose touches the surface, they can't go any higher. If the distance from the surface to the top of the spawn matches up with the distance between the angel's mouth & ovipositor, you have angel eggs. It does appear to have the pattern of a first spawn, not in neat rows, angel's tend to get neater with it in time. The quantity seems right as well.

Tolak's right about the Angel's eating cory eggs. If they were from the corys, they would have been long gone.

How interesting to learn that Angels stop spawning before they reach the top. Corys often put their eggs all the way up to the surface and will occasionally even put a few out of the water by accident.

Lots of luck with raising your fry!

they have cleaned off all the unfertilised eggs now, i will keep all informed!
