i have mollies, platys, corys, and african dwarf frogs. it could be a possibility between the frogs or corys...but my corys havent shown much interest in each other and my frogs have been really weird the last few days

Well if there are other fish in the tank you won't have to worry about it. They'll get eaten.

Should you ever want to raise them , I use an old plastic one or two gallon jar . I put guppy grass or java moss and water from one of my tanks and an air stone in it . Then I scrape the eggs off the glass with a single edge razor blade and scatter them in the vegetation . Oh , I also add a couple apple snails in. 3-4 days after spawn ,,,, Babies !

any type of vegetation is good . If it has been more than 24 hours since the spawning , keep a net under to razor blade as the eggs will no longer be " sticky . The "dance " is cool . if you watch , you will see the female have 3-6 eggs in her "claspers" .
The females are larger than the males ! Right now I have a 2 gallon jug with itty bitty babies and some more eggs in it !

Infusoria (spelling ? ) the slime that they leave behind while they move around is good for the new born fry . Read that some where , so I have always had Spixi's in my "birthing" tanks .

@ Bossman ,,, Cory are not protective of their eggs . Actually , others in the tank will consume them without interference from the parents . Snails ,, other cory , and other fishes will all consume them with out interference !
Some cory will interbreed ,, but most will not .
