    Might be pygmy cory eggs... may also be otocinclus eggs too (if they are, you're very lucky). Best to transfer the eggs to another tank to avoid the guppies or gourami eating them.

    Yeah, if all goes well the eggs should hatch after a few days, then you can ID them. Make sure there is sufficient circulation around the eggs to prevent fungus/mold.

    If possible put a few cherry shrimps with those eggs, they will help clean the eggs of fungus/mold and also eat the dead eggs too.

    Alternatively just put a few drops of methylene blue to deter fungus growth

    Hmm.. your all really expert, i start to see one egg with white mold. I throw a few malayan shrimp, hopefully they will get rid of the white mold. So if the egg with mold, meaning it is a dead egg??

    It could just be mold forming around the egg due to insufficient circulation, or it could be a dead egg too. The shrimps should be able to help clear the fungus or the dead egg.

    Forgot to mention that you can also put the eggs into a breeder box or netting and place it in the path of the filter flow, in that way the eggs can also receive a constant circulation of fresh water to reduce fungus/mold issues.

    It reminds me of a previous experience when a goldfish laid hundreds of eggs.
    The eggs were stuck to the plants but a few of them turned white and moldy, which means they are bad or dead.
    The good ones are transparent and clear.
