i'd say its cory's eggs .....they like to spawn on the wall ... if you want to keep them, you can take the eggs by scraping them gently off the wall and put into a small tank with air stone and add few drops of blue meths.
bn will definitely welcome those eggs as compliment to their daily zuchini

alright so i am about to remove them but i have a problem
A. no small tank, what about a tupperware container floating in a larger tank? should keep it heated and i will add the air stone off course
B. no meth blue, i have a methblue, malachitegreen and acriflavine combo, how will that work?
C. what should i get ready to feed the little guys if they hatch?

You might have to consider picking up a small tank. I would borrow a sponge filter from one of your existing tanks.
I was having a quick search on the internet, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information out there.
One site had the following info in regards to food and removing the eggs:
http://www.fishtanksandponds.com/bre..._corydoras.htm
Remove eggs: roll on to your fingers (might want to reread that section.)
Food: QUOTE: "The fry were fed after 48 hrs, first on micro worm and after a further day on newly hatched brine shrimp"
Well done Ryan, I was thinking about breeding corys next ... you beat me to it. Congrats
I think Kev had success with breeding pygmy corys, should be the same principles I guess. He may be able to directly answer your questions.

Last comment MAY be truer than you know...... You do have snails so... maybe they are snail eggs ??????????????????
I would bet on Cories tho as they are colony breeders and scatterers...
Excellent chance to have some FUN..
