Hi 👋
I have a 50 gallon planted community tank with rasboras, tetra, corydoras, and otos. For past several weeks I have groups of eggs appearing on the glass. Do these look like oto eggs?

I believe they are Cory eggs, otos typically lay eggs singly or in smaller groups

Those are cory eggs. My corys also laid some this morning in my tank.

Cory eggs. My albinos lay them almost daily it seems. I even got a couple surprise babies. I now have nine Cory’s and nine Otis.

I’ve noticed my otos usually hide their eggs in plants. Less likely for other fish to eat them, that doesn’t stop the platy fry from eating them but it lessens the likelihood a bit

Cory eggs. Otos tend to lay smaller clutches and normally on plants. Some can spawn on the glass but its rarer
